I'm not sentimental when it comes to pedals. I have some '89 vintage Time Carbons but they blow, I never use them.

The top of the line VX Race SPD mountain pedals got slashed to $16.99 at Bikewagon so I bought three pairs and they're outstanding.



SH71 cleats with the pontoon work great with flat soled road shoes. Easy to clip in without sliding your shoe all over the place and good to walk in.
