I recently decided to upgrade from clipped pedals to clipless, as i have no previous experience in either choosing them or riding with them i would really appreciate any advice or recommendations, i really like the look of SIDI Genius 5
Thanks, J
On pedals: haven't read the thread, but go cheap Shimano SPDs for pedals. There's no magic here, because once you are clipped in, you're clipped in. Some folks like float, some folks don't. Here's the secret: i guarantee you that at one point everyone liked either of them. It's just what you get used to.
On shoes: Get whatever MTB shoes (not road) that are on sale which you feel like... or better said, don't mind... wearing all day. Here's the secret: All bike shoes are ugly and fall apart and no amount of money spent will change that.
i will say that i've had a pair of Louis Garneau's for 4 years. The heel tread wore out and they pretty much fell apart in a year, but have remained functional since then.
