was: Look or SPD pedals? - so, which SPDs?
Others have mentioned the recessed benefits of SPD.
I went from Pearl Izumi road shoes, that only came in whole sizes to Sidi Genius 4s which come in half sizes, also in narrow and wide. The Sidis are really comfortable, but not cheap. Consider joining Team Performance and also look for one of their 20% off online coupons. I got mine marked down from $229 to $170 -20% - 10%[towards future purchase] = appr $122 Life is Good! Jeff So, I've a pair of Wellgos, which I assume are the genesis of the Nashbar brand, etc. They've been fine, but I've been itching, for whatever reason, to try out some new pedals. Team Performance is running specials on some Crank Bros. SPDs, the "original" and "candy" models. What would be the difference in feel between them? How would one choose one over the other? How about Speedplay SPDs? Any testimonials? And, unless it's a secret that I have to research myself, how does one find a 20% online coupon for Performance? That'd be great! T.I.A., Mark |

Team Performance is running specials on some Crank Bros. SPDs, the "original" and "candy" models. What would be the difference in feel between them? _ With stiff shoes there is no perceptable difference after you're clipped in. The Candies are easier to pedal when you aren't clipped in and offer more support for less stiff shoes. They are also much less likely to dig a hole in the back of your leg, but that's more of an MTB issue. How would one choose one over the other? _ If you've got relatively soft shoes, pick the candy. If you do a lot of stop and go, pick the candy. If you're a weight wheenie, get the original. If you're cheap get the ones on sale. One thing to be aware of is that the pedals and cleats seem to have a breakin period. I've never quite figured out if it is me being broken in or the pedals, but they are noticely easier to get in/out of after a month or so. How about Speedplay SPDs? Any testimonials? _ No idea. I'm pretty happy with the various Crank Bros pedals on all of my bikes. _ Booker C.
