Sidi shoes

Haven't ridden a tandem yet, so can't really says.

It's a tricky one. I have caged pedals on it now and I can't stand them, I want to be clipped in. My road pedals are too much of a faff for getting the tandem started, you need strong power transfer right at the get go to get it up to speed, especially on the hills. My success rate for clipping into keos is probably 9 out of 10 on my regular bikes, but I can control them a lot easier than a tandem, so MTB is the way to go.

Maybe I should settle for something other than Sidi. I just find my genius 5's so comfy, I'm worried if I get something inferior i will end up getting sore feet. But Sidis are $$ that I don't have right now.

Apologies for hijacking the Sidi thread but does anyone have an opinion on what shoe brand offers the most similarly shaped shoes as sidis? I have narrow feet and high arches (I have special insoles for that so I will just swap them around).

Someone let Ed ride a tandem, just once. Then he can make declarations about another area of cycling.

Have a look at those Specialized Touring shoes.

Closet shoes I found that similar to Sidi (to me) is Giro.

Or even clip and strap = one less shoes to worry about.

I have three pairs of clipless shoes, nothing to wear with clips and straps... So for me clips and straps would equal one more pairs of shoes. I imagine there are others on this site in a similar position.

Just picked up the most disgusting pair of cycling shoes I have ever seen. Unfortunately they fit perfectly and were ludicrously cheap.

Liquigas Cannondale colours...

Any size 7s want some Genius 5s for £39.99?

Well I feel suitably foolish. Thanks!

^^ I saw they only had a couple of sizes listed, may be worth a call, I bought from them a 2 or 3 years ago and they were very nice.

So tempted to buy a pair of drakos. Can't afford, do not need.

just got this yesterday for a cheap price

I just kinda messed up the left buckle a bit, just wanna ask if there's anyone have the same problem (buckle are easy to broke) ?!?
Still looking for the buckle replacement in local area but so far can't find any :'(

Brxiton cycles have some. Or sidicafe online.
I broke some crashing.

You should be able to mess it up, unless you're using it incorrectly.

Pretty sure hdmns is in Indonesia?

can I use it for my Genius 5-Pro ?
The shop located at Bali, will cost 2 or 3 days ship to Jakarta. If it fit my 5-Pro then I'll buy it straight. Need advice...

That is the older buckle for a different strap, it won't work I'm afraid.

Looks like the same shape buckle on my Dominator 4s, and I thought they shared the same main strap with Genius 4/5?

Mine came with the black plastic buckle type pictured above, however I broke one of them after a few years and bought replacements from my Sidi dealer, which were metal. They've lasted 5+ years.

the straps are different, the width of the notches and the spacing are not the same. Compare these two.

Ah, the difference is clear. Didn't realise they'd changed the design.
