Ok..I actually searched the threads on mountain bike pedals before asking these questions. If there is something I have missed please let me know.

It seems to me that there is a lot of variance on the pedals due to preferance. There seem to be two camps the SPDs and the Crankbrothers from what I can tell.

So my questions are these...

1. I have the look Keos on my road bike and I love them. For a mountain bike set up do you need a full platform on the foot? (This is one thing I really like about the Looks). If you do not, Why not?

2. As a result of my Looks I have become addicted to my Sidis so I guess, I would really like the Sidi mountain shoe. Will the SPD, or any other brand, work with this type of shoe? Or do I need think cleat first shoe second?

I think that is it for now. If I have more questions I will be sure and ask. Thankyou for your collective help.
