SPD Pedals

Acelliott

With the older SPD pedals they did ones that you could flip over for a normal pedal allowing you to nip down the shops in your slippers if you so wished

any ideas if they do this on the SPD-SL Cleat type?????

AFAIK no!

But you should be able to cycle on SPD-SL with slippers anyway...

Does the kind police officer escort you back to the home afterwards?

How about fitting your slippers wth a carbon plate / insole and attaching cleats to it, then you could cycle anywahere in slippers?

you can still get SPD's with flats on the one side, i'd just use the clipless and soft shoes if you just wanted to pop down to shops/pub etc with out getting lycra'd up.

^ yeah, but he wants SPD-SLs which only come as single sided clipless types.

I've cycled about on SDP-SL Ultegra sl pedals and no probs with normal shoes, don't own any slippers though so........

I once knew a guy who went everywhere in a pair of old slippers, he was only in his 20's so it wasn't down to having senior moments. He reckoned they were more comfortable than his shoes.
I must admit i have been known to pop to the local shop in mine, but then i am, as Mrs Snake tells me, losing it a bit

Shimano A520 or A530 may well be the ticket.

Not really as they're still 'spd' type pedals :?

Sorry, guilty of not reading the OP properly :oops:

You find some bikes that come brand new with SPD's come fitted with plastic covers with grip and reflectors that attatch to them, presumably for test rides etc. Maybe your LBS has some they might give you, or a friend who has recently bought a mountain bike?
