Are those as good of quality? I just see the clipless x clipless or clipless x platform recommended but never these. Is there a reason?
I am assuming that you mean something similar to these

Forte pedals

I don't think that I would like toe clips on the bottom when I am using the spds, it leaves the clips too close to the ground for cornering and may snag on something causing a crash.

I have the forte brand and feel that they are harder to find the attachment point than a standard pair of spd pedals.
