Already Ride Shimano mp66
Shimano MP66’s are designed for use with clipless pedals! THEY ARE CRAP with flat pedals… I’ve got a pair, excellent as a comfy, casual clipless shoe, but would be damned near useless on flatties!
V8’s ain’t the best flat pedal out there, but you’d do well to get yourself even just some cheap Vans trainers first, before upgrading the pedals… You don’t need 5/10’s despite what people tell you…
And when it comes to change the pedals, you can’t go wrong with the Superstar Nano/Kona Wah Wah/Nukeproof/Fatties Flatties (there are more guises than that too!)… They are really good, nice and grippy, nice and slim. If you want the ultimate in grip and bombproofness though, Easton’s Flatboys are what you need…
