Okay, it's time for that discussion again and I can't decide if I should move on to road cleats and pedals or not. My bike fitter suggested me to move to road cleats as I get more serious in cycling, simply as it's more efficient and more stable. However as the Power Meter I back online is going to deliver soon, I need to make a decision to stick to SPD or change to Look Keo cleats?


The thing I always wonder is, wouldn't a stiff racing XC shoes (S-Works level) outweigh the stability offered by road shoes and cleats? Especially when it comes to climbing out of the saddle and generating sprinting power?

Oh and does walking on grass or some dirt makes affect clip in ability of road cleats or only if it gets real dirty like in mud
