Touring pedals
My son survived his Pacific Coast ride last summer and will be going cross country this year. For those that remember our bike searching adventure, he ended up with a Cannondale T2000 (new, but prior year model). The bike was great, except for the rear rack, which broke en route. He rode with Shimano PD-M324 pedals (clipless on one side and platform on the other).
Folks on this forum recommend upgrading to Shimano M520 or M540 pedals. Others insist on having a clipless with platform to distribute the weight and recommend Crankbrothers Quattro sl.
My son will be riding 80-100 miles per day for six weeks.
Would appreciate advise from people who do this type of touring.
Thanks.
