Its no problem.
I just got confused for the fiftieth time about Toe Strap vs. Clipless. It should be the other way around. I know that I need a specialized kind of shoe for clipless. I meant to say Toe Strap in the first place. Apparently there are shoes that go with TS pedals, but those are really old school, so I ordered some Speedplays. I just can't find out what type (SPD, etc.) they are.
As for being a n00b, you got me there.
PS- I have a Trek 1600. I think I should have gotten a 2100 in the first place.
P.P.S- Also, I do know the basic mechanics of bikes. And the parts (Chains, Cranks, Cassetes, Derailuers, etc.)
Man. I sound like an *******. its second nature, I guess.
