Hey Guys,

I'm getting new pedals and shoes (new to clipless systems) and I've narrowed my search down to basically one pedal. I'm getting Shimano R133 shoes (got a killer deal at Bicycle Warehouse) and I'm thinking about getting some SPD m540 pedals. I know these are for mountain biking, but I don't like the concept of only being able to clip into one side of most road pedals. I realize there are options like speed play that have dual sided entry. But I'm on a budget, and weight doesn't bother me. I know the 540's are heavier, but it has dual entry. My question is...will these be compatible with the R133 shoes? I've also looked at the 520's but apparently they aren't built as strong? I dunno, for an extra 20 bucks it sounds like the 540's are built to last.

What do you think?
