Beenie Posted November 2, 2009 Share So i'm ready to move onto getting me some pedals, cleats and shoes for my MTB. These things (like all other equipment can be rather costly).LBS can sort me out with decent entry level stuff that is reliable and long lasting but wont break the bank.Shimano pedals and cleats - R350. They are adjustableOlypic shoes - R770Any thoughts? What should I be looking out for? Any advice would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatic Posted November 2, 2009 Share What model pedal?505 or 520.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip.maree Posted November 2, 2009 Share The Crank Brother Candy pedals are also a very good option to consider. I found them much easier to clip in and out of than the Shimano SPD's. They also shed mud better. What I did find is that there is a more float to the Candy's than the SPD's and that is something to get used to. But since this is your first set of clip-ins I would recommend the Candy's before the SPD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, I purchased mine from CRC for about R400 but locally they will be more expensive. But I thinks it's money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
