Hi!
Im sure this is covered in a thread somewhere, but cursory search was fruitless...

Soooo i run SPD pedals with some Mavic Razor shoes on multiple bikes. For a variety of reasons...im used to them, i do spin classes with the wifey once a week (all spin bikes are spd), the mavic mtb shoes are decently lightweight AND i can walk in them comfortably, i also have SPD DZR-brand casual shoes that look nice enough to wear out and to work when commuting...

excuses, etc
well, all reasons above, and its just easier to have SPD all around on various bikes. ive just started to do metric centuries and my interest in road cycling continues to grow gradually, so once i get more serious i might look into spd-sl or look or whatever style pedals/shoes. but until then...

anywho, i have shimano a520s, a600s, and m540s already. all are pretty decent spd pedals, no complaints. however i have a nice new road bike i am building up (a 2004 litespeed) and was wondering what other good options are out there for a "road specific" SPD pedals? (more or less...however road specific SPD can get)...

ive looked at ritchey pro micro v4s and i like the looks of em...

but i hear you cant use shimano SPD cleats with them? anyone know tho if you can use the ritchey cleats on shimano pedals?

are there any other options out there that are decent quality that i should look at?
or should i just stick with another pair of a520s or a600s?


thanks for any suggestions
