Hi all
Just got my first set of clipless pedals, the Shimano M647s. Bit dubious about not unclipping in time when I need to.
Is it best to use the standard release cleats or go for the multi-direction release cleats to start with?
Thanks
multi initially IMO.
Standard, you'll soon get the idea (once you've had a couple of falls) 🙂
I'm just starting out on clipless and have gone for the standard. its not as hard as I'd imagined, although the icey roads arn't helping!! 4 offs in about 100m at the weekend.
Maybe stick to flats until the ice has dissipated! Standard are fine as long as you slacken off the tension. Mind, I don't really get SPD's for off road TBH.
multirelease have the nasty habit of pulling out at inopportune moments, I hate them, and have only used them when I bought them by accident... Just get standard release and get on with it. Much better. FWIW I didn't fall off when I started using them, although I've seen many others do so.
