Because of the large difference in length of my two feet I needed a 45.5 and that had to come only in their highest model. I bought the Special Competition Men's MTB and the Shimano PD6430. I like the idea of being able to pop on the MTB side of the pedal at road crossings and get back on the trail to clip in. Now for setting the attachment point and tension. I set it to the loosest setting and will gradually tighten them as my experience and practice warrants. Thanks for all the help everyone!
