I'm thinking of getting some Crank Brother Acid pedals to put onto my Pompino, but I was wondering if anyone has riden them in normal work shoes.

I use the bike to commute to work and wear my work shoes, so was looking for something that will not dig into the sole of my shoe.

Do the clip-in bars on the acid protrude above the surface, or are they recessed?

Thanks for any help.

Leave your work shoes at work and cycle in your cycling shoes. That or get some clips and starps for during the week. Why make life uncomfy and loose some of your control of the bike?

I've got Acid pedals on my mountain bike. I like the fact they have a bit more of a platform than eggbeaters. Having said that they aren't at all comfortable with normal shoes. The spring part still sits proud of the platform so you can feel it pushing through the soles of your shoes. For cycling shoes only IMHO. Anyway, riding fixed on flats strikes me as being a bit crazy!

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.
