Today went out and tried my new Spedplay pedals. Took a while to get use to but once a couple of hours in they were fine and dandy a lot easier to get in and out of being double sided highly recommend plus get a good feel through the Bont shoes I use.

Roll on!!

    Glad you like em! When I got a set and wondered if I'd wasted my money rather than getting SPD-SLs or the like, but its the best change Ive ever made. Easy to get into and much easier when setting off uphill...

    Enjoy!

    They're great pedals (or is that peddles? :) ). I wrote a piece on my experience a while back. Don't forget to keep them clean - coffee covers are a must!

    Whats that? (And pedals is correct ;) )

    I've got Look KEO pedals myself but since the shoes I got for those are quite crappy I'm using SPD's on my roadbike atm which works fine really. I'm thinking of buying something new though... Maybe a new pair of shoes for my KEO's, or SPD-SL pedals+shoes or Speedplay perals+shoes.

    What I really like on SPD is the double sidedness so maybe I should go for Speedplays since they also have this. Or do SPD-SL pedals always level so they are easy to clip while riding? As I've had problems with the KEO's because they weigh more in the back to they tend to turn a bit which makes it quite unhandy to clip my shoes in there.

    Coffee covers If you walk on rough surfaces without these you'll wreck your cleats in double quick time, at £40 a pop. :shock:

  • Never used coffee covers and walk to from the bike all the time once at work etc... Had them 2-3 yrs now and all's well
