Roadie pedals.

[amt27]

Some mtb pros in the early 90s used road pedals and shoes for fast, mainly fireroad, races.

if you are going to use the bike as a road bike , I mean 3 hours + rides , then get some proper raod pedals .
they are a lot more rigid .

Not my cuppa yet chris. By the way, a big thank you for the bargain XTR rear mech. It works a treat....cheers mate!

I don't know if there's a lot in it now, it used to be the case but most of the extra stiffness comes from the shoes these days

My Shimano mtb shoes are quite flexible, my Shimano road shoes are like clogs

I meant the combination , shoe , pedal.
I use Look pedals and cleats and it is a lot more rigid compared to my SPDs on the MTB .

but yes , they are a nightmare in town .

I've got some Look pedals from about 2001 in Celeste green ( off a Bianchi ) at the moment their stuck solid in a 105 chainset :?

If I eventually get them off your welcome to them or have Look pedals changed too much since then to be of any use to you ?

Cheers

hope not, could do with some new cleats for my sidi shoes and campag pedals from early 90s

I still like my old Look ARCS as the cleat is huge and they therefore don't cause any nasty pressure points on your feet which I do find using MTB SPD's on the road.

IMHO

 

[cchris2lou]

send me the chainset and I ll get them off for you .

my look pedals are 1998 ish I think . they still work great .

Stick legs is spot on though . the pressure of the cleat in the pedal is better with large cleats than SPDS .
