More pedals - SPDs on a road bike?

**Flur** · 02-17-2009, 07:02 AM

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!

I have spds on my road bike, and love it. I love the flexibility of single sided pedals. Sometimes I like to just put on my converese and crusie around oldschool, and they afford me that luxury while still being road bike zippy. It also means I can stay unclipped in high traffic areas, or when I'll be stopping a lot. (I've recently made the jump fropm my mtb to a road bike too!)

me too. When I was trying to decide what to get, it became a no brainer to get SPDs since both of my sons AND my husband had them on their road bikes.

and I wear SIDI Dominator MTB shoes too. I hate "road" shoes.

Thanks folks, this is my favourite thing about the TE forums... On your own you think you might be trying to do something crazy, but there are always plenty of friendly people around here who do just that thing successfully and can offer you support!

Thanks again, SPDs it is for me!

I have M324's on my commuter, but those A530s would look pretty spiffy on a road bike

check ebay for pedals

My cycling life improved tremendously when I switched my Road-SPD (Look-style) pedals for mountain SPDs and my road shoes for SIDI Dominators.

I don't know how to explain it, but it just felt a lot better to not have cleats sticking-out of my shoes.
