  • I run SPDs on everything, hack bike, fixed and geared road bikes, crabon race bike.

    Hackbike: Shimano Click'r T400 (double sided with reflectors, can easily be ridden in normal shoes)
    Other bikes: Shimano PD-M540 or M520.

    Can't stand single sided pedals. Stiffer soled shoes solved all hotfoot issues I get on longer rides.

    Some people will bang on about the size of the "platform" that the shoe clips in. I can't see the logic in it given that the interface between your foot (with which you are pushing down) and shoe is the footbed of the shoe the size of the cleat doesn't matter as long as the footbed is nice and stiff (I use carbon soled shoes). The pedal/crank interface (i.e. the pedal spindle) is the same size regardless of the size of the cleat and pedal.

    I also like being able to walk easily off the bike, which is why I use MTB SPD shoes (Shimano MTB Sport for commuting and MTB Pro Carbon for longer/faster rides).
