The story of three sets of pedals:
Bike came with look cleat type..
took them off as i've no shoes/cleats
Used some flat old type (grippy) pedals, which i've been using on my conversion for ages with no trouble. These were fine, but I keep reading horror stories about flats..
So I got some system ex clip pedals:
Put these on today and not getting on, small surface doesn't feel like I'm transmitting force well and can't get my feet into them moving (i'm sure that comes with time) but still can you quickly put them on in heavy traffic?
So.. recommendations? SPD I assume, but with some soft soles... for the shopping on route home.. So how cheap can I get some spd's and shoes and cleats?
Think i'll go back to my flats for the moment.
Cheers in advance.toby
PS. I have searched, and generally the ATAC are recommended.. just wondering prices, or if anyone has any kicking about.
PPS. I've also been trying to skid (since I have some foot retention), not finding it easy even with the straps.. maybe 49/15 is a bit high?
