i.e. spd one side/cage the other...I never know what to call them!

Does anyone use them off road and ride tricky sectopns unclipped?

Thinking of trying this with some A530s I have coming - should be easy to put studs in the cage side, and they would have more clearance in narrow stuff than flatties.

Thought the general consensus on those was that they were rubbish. Would be kinda hard to change from one side to the other, and how grippy is a shoe with a cleat in it?

Cleat is recessed.

Re. turning it over - I manage that fine on my other pair (M524?)

My first cleated pedals were the M324s. I reckoned it would be great to be able to unclip on tricky sections. In practice, I found them to be just too much hassle. As RealMan says, it's amazing how little grip a cleated shoe has on a metal cage pedal - even though, as you say, the cleat is recessed.

I feel you druid but adding pegs/studs may give clearance for the cleat, will def give way more grip, and the shoes in question have a lot of rubber around the cleats. I'm going for it ๐Ÿ˜ก

Are you going to glue the studs on with papier mache this time as well?

They're better than a disc brake mount fashioned out of an old spoon...

But only marginally mind! ๐Ÿ˜‰
