clipless pedals/shoes and bad knees

[arielmoon]

Fit is key but I would also recommend Speedplay pedals. I have a long history of knee problems including arthritis and they really help me. In addition they are so easy to get in and out of!

Good luck!

Thank you, all!

Marni, that sounds like a horrific experience!

I guess it's time to begin the shopping around process.

I have bad knees too, but I'll spare you the details.

I've used both SPD and Speedplay pedals on my bike. I have slightly less pain with the Speedplay (Zero). I think this is because they have a bit of float. They're adjusted to have very little though.

Make sure if you get anything that they put you on the trainer and make sure the position is still correct and that the cleats are placed properly on the shoes.

Nope, not too late at all. My shopping will all be online browsing til at least the weekend.
