I put speedplays on it. They are the only pedals that my knees will tolerate. This pair is one of the very first ones, from about the right vintage. I've had 'em for years, got them from a friend who won them in a race and couldn't stand them. They were my first pair.
All of my bikes are riders. The ones that turn into garage queens get sold. Although it has been so hot and dusty lately that the mountain bikes aren't getting any use.
I'll pull my shifters off (come to think of it, they are off my C-Super already...) and measure the bosses, so you have something to compare. Doesn't seem right that the boss would be too short. Is it possible that the plastic washer might be too thick (not the stock washer)?
need to find my calipers... grumble...
Oh, thought you might be puttin on a set of 'vintage' quill road with clips.
Speedplay - nice stuff
After being on this forum for a month+ or so, I'm feelin real guilty about letting all my bikes become such mongrels. Wore out stuff and just replaced that with any old good stuff, based on what I thought would work best for me at the time.
The bikes are so confusing now that I'm never sure if I should stop for Pizza, Sushi or Gorp!
