Going to give some spd type pedals and shoes a try for the first time. They will be used on both the road and off-road bike hopefully. What sould I be looking at? I know there are different types such as shimano spd's, egg beater, look etc but no idea whats best for me. Not looking to spend a fortune to start with just incase I don't take to them.
Pedals - a pair of Shimano M520's can be had for £20, are very good for the money and will give you a good idea of whether you like to be clipped in or not. No brainer for your first pair.
Shoes - Go to a good LBS and try a few pairs on to see what shape you like. I've always liked the Specialized BG shoes, the Sport model is nice a good shoes for the money and quite cheap as well.
what he said.
shimano 520s
spec bg shoes.
yep i'll third above advice try them on some grassy area to get use to them as you will fall over in a comedy fashion.
Sorted. Thanks guys- lbs tomorrow then.
another vote for spec bg, what i started with.
Buy shoes that fit well, and don't get the cheapest models - soles lack stiffness.
