So, I bought a new road bike, a boardman comp despite all that is said against halfords i bit the bullt spoke to the guy and he seemed to know what he was doing, either way i'll check it twice when it comes tomorow morning.
I also bought some Specialized BG elite road shoes, and shimano r540 pedals to get me started with clipless and so i can get the most out of my bike.
There are fittings on the bottom for numerous types of cleats i have the spd-sl ones, and there is another plate that is able to move forwards and backwards similar to a mtb cleat, only thing is in the left shoe it rattles and makes a slight knocking sound when i walk, obviously these shoes are not made for walking but, having not had chance to try them on the bike yet should i be concerned or should i exchange the shoes for another pair?
as much help is appreciate asap i want to get out tomorow afternoon! before i go away for the weekend.
cheers, matt

cheers will look into that, putting the cleats on the right shoe stopped the plate from ratting, but not on the left, I'll only ever use spd-sl's now so the other plate is redundant. If that'll work and no hinderance to performance. Excellent.
