More pedals - SPDs on a road bike?

[redrhodie]

I use SPDs on my road bikes all the time. There's no need to use other pedals unless you like them better or if you have knee issues and want pedal-cleat system with more play. I have one pair of cycling shoes--my beloved Shimano MTB cycling shoes.

Me too!

I have SPDs on my road bike.

i use one sided SPD on my road bike - lots of people do - there;s no particular reason why you shouldnt - and if you are used to clipping in on SPDs you wont have a problem with the same kind of pedals on your road bike, i'm sure..

Yep, here's another one with spd's on all her bikes. Just go with what feels right for you.

[woohoo]

Thanks for the replies everyone! From the sounds of it sticking to SPDs should be fine, which is great news as it'll probably save me £150! Now I just need to decide if I want another set of M324 pedals (like on my mtb) or A530s, which might be a bit more roadie. I love an excuse to go to the bike shop!

Thanks again, Lynne.

if you can afford the a530 pedals they would look great on your new road bike :-)

I don't have spds on my road bike, but I do have candies (mountain pedals) and mountain bike shoes. IMHO its a great way to go. Keep your spds!
