Sorry I have not posted hear recently, I have had a test to deal with which is never fun.

Thankyou for your help and information Duvers. I am the opposite of you in this case. I have been a road rider for a LONG time and am switching to mountain or rather adding mountain to the collection.

I have been debating between a smaller pedal-crankbrothers, I think and the Shimano SPD.

Shoes, I found Sidi Bullets which look more like entry level shoes which are good. I have thought about having a second pair of the Specialized for seroius off roading. What do any of you think on this?

Thankyou,
Red Rock
