OK, Genesis day one cross is here (photos to follow), and I am now wondering what pedals to use. Intention is to use it fixed sooner or later. On the Kona Dew Deluxe I have Shimano 324's on the Kiron and the Planet X Ti I have Ultegra pedals.

So if I am to use this as a CX bike and also to go to the pub and run it single and fixed....... what pedals am I to use????

    MTB clipless. Useable off road when it's being used as a crosser and allow you to walk into the pub without sounding like a woman in high heels.

    What shoes are you going to use? MTB cleats are shocking when attached to road shoes. Road cleats aren't enormously better, but they are better.

    Maybe these:

    I have them on the Tricross, double sided SPD's which can be used with normal shoes for pub trips etc.

    I've got Shimano M540s. Took a bit to get used to them, but use them for the commute and for CX.
    FCN 2-4.

    +1 to that

    Plus, for learning fixed, you can set them up as tight or as loose as you want

    How can that possibly be classed as a good thing??
    Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.
