9'er fan, try Nashbar or Performance for sale items. They have cheap pedals and cheap(er) pedals. I've used their own brand and haven't had a problem with them (but not the cheapest ones, they were really quality poor) I bought my SPD's for like 29.00 thru Nashbar and shoes can be purchased online, stores or LBS. Try to get shoes that are comfortable for you, not comfortable on your wallet. You will be a happier person.
