[Closed] Which Clips?

Shimano are very good and are best for learning (as you can alter the spring tension). M520 is the base model and come in at about £18 and are very good, no point spending more. If you want a cage round the pedal so you can ride better when not clipped in (but are heavier) then get some M647s.

good advice.

Thanks. She has clips on her road bike (triathlete) so learning is not a consideration.

If she rides in the mud a lot then Time are worth a look. The cleats engage with raised bars - so they are virtually unaffected by mud, unlike Shimano.

Both my sets of pedals (atac and freeride Z) have been faultless, although they do seem more prone to not-being-able-to-unclip moments when the cleats are new.

I used Shimano clipless for years, then moved over to Crank Bros. They don't clog up and are a piddle to service. I'll never go back. 😉

Interesting, lots of Mud around at the moment, thanks.

Are the Crank Brothers Egg Beater C Pedals any good or just a cheap not very good option?

spd m520 for less than £20 online in cleats how can you go wrong

Go Time for excellent performance and reliability. Crank Bros are fine as long as you look after them.

Okay, thanks for the advise guys. 😀

Riding clips on road is very differnt to riding off road. If shes new to off road clip us she will probably appreciate being able to clip out very easily a first.
Shimano and time are virtually maintenance free...crank bros are not (and virtually drop apart as you look at them!).

I'd go for the cheap Shimano's already mentioned. I've had a pair on my bike for about 6 yrs, maybe more and they are still working fine.

As said, you can pick them up for £20 or less which is a steal when you consider that new cleats are about £15!
