Do Shimano SPD road pedal clips fit on Mtn Bike shoes?
I'm thinking of buying Shimano Ultegra PD-6620 SPD-SL Road Pedals...
I’m wondering if the cleats will fit my shoes. My shoes are diadora Mtn bike shoes (because I like to be able to walk off the bike) circa 1997, and have about 1.5 inch wide recessed area for the cleats. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the PD-6620 cleats that come with the pedals, and if you know if they will fit shoes that have recessed cleats? If they will not fit my shoe, can you recommend a shoe that will allow me to walk and still use these pedals? |

Those type pedals and cleats are not made to walk around. If you want to walk around you need a different setup. Lake makes some that supposedly work with Look cleats, but the whole idea seems ridiculous: http://www.lakecycling.com/ProductIn...roductid=CX120 I use Ultegra pedals on my road bike, but when I use that bike I do no walking. On the bikes I do walking with, I use other pedal systems. Joseph Joseph |

What makes these pedals so special? If you want to walk use some kind of ATB pedals. SPD, Time Atac, Speedplay Frogs etc. They are all two sided as a bonus. ....anf if one wants a more "racing pedal" look there are still one sided SPD and alike available. -- MfG/Best regards helmut springer panta rhei |

Others obviously do not agree, I can not think of a reason not to pick a two sided pedal. otherwise Shimano wouldn't make them. hmm... Lou |

If you decide for SPD it would be dumb to pick single sided. I can not think of a reason not to pick a two sided pedal. What about cornering / ground clearance? What about component quality and overall cost? What about fewer moving parts to maintain? I don't know if these are valid - just some thoughts that came to mind. |
