cheers for the advice. Yeh these will be predominantly used for commuting so they will see a fair amount of clipping in/out, so I'll defo look in to that.

Very boring thread here sorry, but I'm getting my first set of clipless pedals and after browsing the market it seems these Shimano and Exustar pedals are the best value entry level pedals out there atm. Both pedals and cleats, and they are about the same price when postage is included.

Was just wondering which people thought were the best bet?
Cheers

That sounds great. Unfortunately I'm not in London atm as it's uni holidays, so up to you whether you can be bothered with the hassle of posting them? I would obviously pay you accordingly, but understandable if you're not up for it.

8.5 is a little small unfortumately. How much would you be after for the 105 pedals?

Tbh I'm a complete noob when it comes to clipless- but my understanding was that I was just going to get three bolt cleats that fit the pedals I end up getting.

After size 9 road shoes- have a budget of around £20. Also need a pair of clipless pedals- budget around £10.
Cheers.

Oh ok- ooops, cheers for the heads up! Its only a gumtree buy, so I'll just have to back out. Yeh turns out they are two bolt touring pedals. So the RXS cleats will be fine with any 3 bolt road shoe, as I have my eye on a pair of Specialized shoes that definitely have that system?

Cheers for the reply. Sorry should have said this is for a road bike. Are they still OK in that case?

Hi,

I'm new to clipless pedals and I have purchased a pair of Shimano rt31 shoes and also have just been offered a pair of Time RXS pedals. Was basically just wondering if Shimano shoes are compatible with Time cleats? Cheers

Doing a geared road bike build and in need of a pair of cycling shoes in around size 9 and a set of clipless pedals. On a real budget at the moment, just want a stop gap to get riding with, so ideally would like to be spending 10 quid or less on each- obviously not expecting much for that price. I'm not in London for uni holidays, so I would require postage. Cheers.

sorry I have literally no idea what was going through my head when I wrote my post, I pretty much missed of the most important criteria. Basically I wanted this raleigh for a ss conversion, so ideally I wanted a frame or a relatively run down or at least mis-matched full bike, because I feel it would be a bit of a crime/waste of money to strip anything down too immaculate, which I have to say that Record Sprint probably looks. It is a really lovely bike though, out of curiousity how much were you looking for it?

Always been keen on getting my hands on a fairly nice Raleigh, but never got round to it. I'm after a 70s/80s Raleigh road bike, size 53-57cm. After a bike anywhere from mid to higher level quality wise - anything reynolds 531 to some extent I suppose, otherwise I'm open to whatever.
Cheers

Hi,
Was hoping someone could help me identify a Raleigh model I've been offered. Only saw it briefly yesterday and unfortunately forgot to take any photos or note down a serial number, so I realise this is pretty vague! It's not a model i've seen before and it doesn't seem to fit into any of the obvious categories - super course, competiton, grand prix etc. Stylistically it's quite similar to the red/yellow/black professional- has basically the same raleigh logo on the down tube, has the same ti logo on the forks (so I guess it's later than 1960), has half-chromed forks and stays, is 531 tubed and says club sport on the top tube. The main colour is white with yellow headtube and writing and red trim. I think it has cottered cranks as well. Hopefully that terrible description makes some sense to someone. Cheers

After a 531 bike/frame 70s/80s bike that indulges my fetish for chromed tubes, for a single speed conversion. After either a bike or just a frame with half-chromed forks and half-chromed rear stays. Don't have many particulars in terms of the frame- i'm very shallow! Would ideally prefer an English frame and would love a Raleigh if ones going. Size 53 - 56. Something like a raleigh competition would be perfect. Cheers

do you think too high? I mean my commute is pretty much flat as a pancake - although I guess I might have to brace myself for some more thunderous thighs

oh I see thats good to know. so that thing in the dropouts will come straight out? and in terms of what i said about 52/18 are there any implications from the bigger cogs compared to say 48/16?

i didn't think I need any of that sort of stuff in terms of chain tension - providing I can get an ok chain line I thought I can just pull the wheel back in the dropouts as they are horizontal?

couple with more questions and then I will really leave you guys in peace from my ignorance! 1) probably nothing but it'something I've never come across, in the picture I've included there appears to be something in the rear dropout, maybe part of the derailleur or it's removal as it has a screw but the way that it appears it seems it would block me from pulling the wheel back into the dropout and achieving chain tension 2) my original intention had be to ride 48/16 but now probably going to keep the front 52 cog and ride 18 at the back. sorry if this is painfully obvious, but despite them being comparable ratios are there are any implications for riding a bigger cog at the front (i know it's only minor), for example maybe for rear wheel skidding? apologies for dragging you lot back into single speed 101 with me...

also would it possible to potentially just change the axle?

and those would definitely fit a modern chainset?

cheers for the comments- thats fairly reassuring. sounds like I have some options to get the chainline on the money. out of curiousity, are there any many modern bb that are designed to fit these sort of threads?

just googled it - yeh really lovely looking frame, hadn't really considered the later 80s models - but would definitely snap one up if it came my way.

oh yeh and size wise between 53 and 56
