First ride with new shoe / pedal system

Would one's feet get sore earlier b/c of a smaller surface area of
these compared to Look style pedals?


I use egg beaters and candies with the same shoes and don't have
problems with either. (low-end shimano mountain shoes, btw)

I have used Crank bros for a while and love 'em!
They have a very effective greasing system which if
you use thru the winter are a great way to make them last along time.

Here's a link to the Candy on sale for $42.99.

This is a timely post for me - I got back into cycing last fall, bought a
trek pilot, without clipless pedals since I didn't know anything about them.
Problem is, I still don't - went to the local cycle chop here and they were
not much help... they sell what they sell and they don't know anything else
it seems.

So I was about to post a general Q on where do I find some info on the types
of cleats and pedals... and ask for suggestions on one vs. the other.

Anyone know of an informative site that goes through it?

wait to try it out)

No question here, just my unbiased opinion. Recessed cleat shoes and Crank
Brother pedals rock. I just bought a pair or Cannondale mountain / touring
shoes and Crank Brother Candy pedals. And they are much more to my liking.
The shoes feel a bit more like a sneaker, and the recessed cleat walkable
design feels better on my feet than my road shoes with look style cleats.
The Crank Brother pedals feel a bit different clipping in, but just about
the same unclipping as the look pedals.

Well here is a little info from Sheldons site:

You can surf sheldons site for more info. Thats where I usually look
first when I want to know about a piece of hardware.
