last week I purchased new shoes and pedals, SPD. Cleats were included. Of course, I also purchased the bike, bag and everything else I needed to start. The LBS threw in many freebies, I didn't think to ask about cleats, they just took care of me and there are no charges for them on my BOS. But now I have learned not to take that for granted if (when) I make any changes.
P.S. I didn't buy my pedals at the shops where I bought the bikes, and the cleats came in the box with the pedals so I didn't have to ask for them specifically . . .
One of the Aussie girls might be able to confirm if I have this right but ...
When I bought a pair of road shoes in Australia, they came with a pair of 'no name' spd compatable cleats :confused: Apparantly the explanation is that on their own they are just 'shoes' and attract one rate of import duty, but if cleats are included they become 'sporting equipment' and attract a lower rate of import duty
I cant really tell what brand they are. They say IP on the side of them. I negotiated for them with the deal on my bike. (did that sentance make any sence) I'm sure they threw in the cheapest pedals there were, because I didn't really have a preferance yet so I was fine with what they threw in for me to learn on. Now that I've been reading all your posts here I'm thinking speedplays. I'll go to thelbs today if I can get off work before they close.
