Pedal Recommendations
I am looking for recommendations for new pedals that will work well for road biking.
I currently have have some older Look pedals and Shimano SPD pedals. Here is my criteria: 1. Easy entry and exit 2. Sturdy 3. Relatively light 4. Around $100 or less 5. Popular so I can get parts if necessary 6. Easy to walk in the shoes with cleats installed Any recommendations? Thanks. |
Time ATAC pedals. double-sided entry, 13 degree or 17 degree exit, user set. just enough float. works with any spd compatible shoe. replacement cleats available at any decent bike shop.
|
The plain old ordinary SPD's are what I use. Single sided pedals on my road bike, dual sided (SPD/Platform) on the utility bike. I have several different pairs of shoes, depending on what I am doing. If I expect to be doing a lot off the bike, then I wear the ones that are sneaker like with recessed cleats.
Inexpensive, work well and and lots of choice. |
I started using clipless in October of last year. Shimano mtb shoes SPD. Started off with a platform on one side and clip on the other. On the new bike went for dual sided pedals and love them. Decided on the Shimano M540 pedals after much debate between those and the 520.

What's wrong with your Looks? The delta is one of the most copied and ubiquitous road designs out there.

http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/roa...ls/SHIMPEDA845 They get new shipments every few weeks. FWIW, unless you're having problems with the SPDs, you can find SPD pedals at Ribble for $20ish. |
Easiest pedals to get in and out of are Crank Brothers. SPDs are like cutting Italian bread with a knife, Crank Brothers are like cutting butter on a 100 degree day. Both easy, one easier than the other. Plus you can use MTB or road shoes with all CB pedals.

Crank Brothers egg beaters would be my recommendation for a clipless pedal
