    SPD shoe fit guide?

    Try mountain bike direct, buy a few sizes and they offer free return as long as they are still in original packaging. And have you considered fiveten shoes as well ? Sent from my HTC_PO582 using Tapatalk

    Giant XTC Advanced SL XX1

    Well i guess the shifters nowdays are integrated with the brakes. makes them look better. Might invest in the new x7 or x9 trail brakes for less squeaky noise..

    Looking for recommendations for knee pads that are good for long rides.

    Recently got troy lee 5400 knee pads, lightweight, easy to put on, good for long distances. Previously tried evo661 and fox launch knee guards but for me they were a bit too bulky - but they do offer better protection..
