BZZZZZZZ! Wrong, but thanks for playing. Surest way to mess up a new rider is get them fixed cleats with no float, 6 months later they quit riding because their knees hurt. I would start with the red look, then when the time comes for your next pair, if they feel lose go to gray. But stay away from black if you like your knees.
