Wanted: Shimano 520

After absolutely cunting it twice on Victoria station concourse in my road shoes, I need to switch to MTB cleats so I can trot about a bit more comfortably on my cycle>train>cycle commute.

I have the shoes, just need a pair of Shimano 520 pedals or similar.

Does anyone have a pair of decent nick 520's they want to sell me, preferably in silver?

Yes, you can have some pretty nasty/embarrassing falls trying to run quickly in those shoes, I know only too well myself:) I was going to suggest that rubberised and grippy cleat covers might be the solution, but no time to put these on if you're rushing to catch trains (you could just as well change into normal shoes instead of attaching the covers). I have a set of XT SPDs that are a bit pricier than the 520 model but worth it IMO. If you're interested then look through my sales thread, about half way down it's second post in this bumper thread: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/395390/

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
