CR400, hope you continue to enjoy the clipless pedal system. When I first heard about the shoe/peddle system- thought to myself, how can that help me go up hills..(I am PATHETIC going up hills, I walk them and am proud of it).. What a world of difference they made. I bought mtb shoes/peddles d/t price and the fact that I still planned on walking up hills..after all, the salesman said, they were made a little bit more for walking than actual road bike shoes. Little did I know that something like that would improve my performance so much, that I am sometimes thinking maybe I should've gotten the road shoes/peddles to be more official but they work well for me. I think they are worth the investment and glad you seem to be enjoying them. Yes, I have had witnessed slow mo falls, not sure who laughs more..friends or myself. Enjoy and be safe on them..shelly
