turtlek Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 The colour is the difference as much as people try to tell me that the bearings are better i cant find any difference in feel and cant justify the price increase either
NotSoBigBen Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Again must agree with tortoise that for a recreational / fast fun rider the 520's are fine. Having said that the 540's do look 'sexier' (they have that fancy tapered part that attaches to the pedal) and they are lighter but by grams I guess.
CatGirl Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 520's it is then...then the shoes on page 3??? shimano aint that expensive so the shimano's on page 3 it is then...would like model still please.. thanks all!helloise
turtlek Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 helloise if you looking for a decent tough all round shoe then i could suggest a pair of louis garneu trial shoes they are awesome value for money and are extremely comy!!!
CatGirl Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 price is a big factor dear turtlek....dont think i'll be able to afford those...but thank you...
turtlek Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 helloise they go for less than R800 i dont know the price but they are awesome shoes go to fitsportslab.com and you will be able to see whats available
AndreZA Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Helloise, go to Sportsman's Warehouse and get Olympic shoes for R550. They will last forever and you will eventually get tired of them.  Â
NotSoBigBen Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Agreed Parra - I train with a pair of those Olympics and they get no special treatment and just go on and on. Had a pair of the entry level Merida shoes but they did not last very long .........
CatGirl Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 do you think people will look at me funny with a pair of al cheapo's?????not quite a brand name the olympics....i dont want to completely look like a non professional if you know what i mean... i'll check these out as well...louis garneu but thanks for all the good advise!

You are out on youtr bike and that is all that matters. If people say something, don't ride with them again. But I don't think you will find that in the MTB crowds, maybe in the roadie groups. Â
CatGirl Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 there is another post re mtb shoes..there they also suggest the olympics! if that is the case i can afford to but the clips and shoes one time...SMW olympics are now a little bit over R550 a pair but i can still then buy clips too...thanks all!helloisePS i think i now have the info i need...
