I fancy going on to clipless, recommendations anyone?

^^Catholic?

2 types of spd cleats, 1 multi release = easy to pull out of accidently. 2, single release = not easy to accidently un-clip

Ive pulled out of Alison but not as regularly as Susan and they still got pregnant

lol

Ive pulled out of ATACs but not as regularly as SPDs.

How are you finding them anyway CB?

I would rather have ATACs than SPDs personally.

I happen to like them a lot. Comfortable to ride. There is some float and all that but mostly i find that theyre like SPDs, just less likely to pull out.

And i would definitely have them over Cages and Straps.

Wellgo model WPD-982 pedal available from Wiggles gives clipless and basic pedal functions and is cheap at around £25. Good to try clipless and if you can't get on with it you can still have clips.

We have a wellgo clipless pedal for £19.99 (mtb one), but I'd strongly suggest getting the shimano one with price match instead down to £19.99.

Ed, which are the ones they use on the tarck that that both a strap and cleats?

You mean the Exustar track pedal?;

Think RPM used one and said it's made of cheese.

FWIW, I have Exustar clones of Look Deltas on my Yates-course road bike. They're fine, and were cheaper than used Looks on eBay.

Hmm, I like cheese, but not at my feet.

CRC have Crank Brothers Candies on sale at £15, incidentally cheaper than a new set of cleats on their own. Weird...

I have candies on the SS 29er. Great pedals.

Road Pedals.

Any dis/advantages over the different types?

Bump. I'm interested in that there question ^

I have atac (the cheap ones) on my road bike and was thinking of changing them, just because they weigh about the same as my front wheel.

Yeah, it's basically a leisure pedal that takes spd one side and look road the other, except you swap the spd side for the strap guides (as above) which turns them into a "track" pedal

Mine have excessive play in them after less than a year and were never very nice, bit bulky and heavy. They are bound for the bin unless someone on ebay wants to buy them and put new bearings in.

Go for a proper 3 bolt system. I have some quattros which I have mounted via both 2 and 3 mounts, and you only get the proper road pedal feel from 3 bolt mounting.

Other than that I havent tried many road pedals. They all look pretty much the same to me (quattros, and speedplay aside). I bought some Keo 2 max, because I liked the look of the big platform, and they seemed universaly popular (and I'm a fan of the Look bearing set-up, but thats just details). I'll propabaly crank up the tension on them, once I'm used to them, dont clip in and out all the time like I do off-road, and dont twist my feet on the road either. So I dont see the point in paying more (there's not much weight to be saved over them).

I did have a good look at the I-clics from Time. Which are pretty different to other road pedals. But at the time they were a bit pricey.

Thats^ more of a bump than an answer TBH.

Cheers SF.

Time road pedals always look like someone has taken a hammer to them.

The uber square Keo blades arent much better.

For looks you want mavic. Sexy looking pedals.

Used Look Keo's initially, and now Shimano SPD-SLs, and prefer the SPD-SLs.

SPD-SL cleats are easier to walk on, and more durable, as are the pedals themselves. Better range of tension than Keo's, you can really tighten them up so they're more or less impossible to pull out of. Shimano pedals are heavier than most of the competition, but the durability makes up for that.

No real difference in actual pedalling between Keo's and SPD-SL's, and i'd imagine it's the same for most systems
