Can anyone tell me HOW it is that SPD = clipless pedals? The others are pretty obvious.
SPD = Shimano Pedalling Dynamics and is a trademark.
All SPD pedals are clipless but not all clipless pedals are SPD-compatible.
I asked this before, but I forgot the answer. What was STI stand for? It's Shimano something-or-other. Anybody know?
STI = System Total Integration
Do I win a prize?
Yeah... remind me to give you your prize next time I see you... :rolleyes:Quote:

I think it is a Shimano trademark again. Like Ergo is Campy's. Gripshift is SRAM's. Not sure what SRAM is using for their new trigger stuff.
BTW, I saw that the new X.O mtb shifters have a lot of adjustability. Might be nice for small hands. Have you and anyone seen them?
