Suitable pedals?

dacker

Hi
I am a road cycling novice and i have decided to move from platform pedals to a
clipless set up so i have just bought these used mtb cycling shoes off ebay.
They fit me really well, have cleats and i am able to easily walk around in them,
but i am not completely sure which pedals will be suitable to go with them, i
want a pedal that is easy to clip in and out of and preferably double sided, i
would appreciate any recommendations
thanks

Shimano M520.
Cheap as chips, do a great job, double sided, go with the cleats you've got fitted.
I think I paid £16.00 for mine a year ago, shop around online.

Yep, Shimano M520 - is always the answer to this question. You can get cheaper, you can get more expensive, but these are the best value.

For the record any Shimano SPD pedal will work with these shoes. Notably when you get the pedals they will come supplied with cleats so you may want to put the new cleats on - or keep them as spares.

Yeh, I've just got the £16 jobbies off wiggle and had a first ride out on Saturday just gone. Whilst the mechanism is a bit more primative than the high end MTB version of SPD's I've been using I couldn't feel any difference clipping in or out on the new ones.

Plus you get a spare set of cleats which are about £7 alone.

And Haribo, always worth it for the Haribo.

Be aware that the setup of the cleats may not be right for you, you need to check foot alignment and cleat for aft setting, but initially, the alignment is the most important

Also you could have a look at M540s - only about £10 dearer that M520s, but a bit lighter and look better.
