Thankyou both for your replies,
I think I probably look at something in the Shimano range, as for the weight, it's not like I am trying to be a world beater.
Hey, nice wheels man. I like the oppys. He's my alltime hero.
Anyway, getting off track...
The shimano stuff is great.
I just grabbed a pair of shimano M086 shoes (really comfy) and some Shimano M540 pedals and I just love them.
Great for a beginner, but you will never out grow them.
Nice solid 'ca-cluck' as you lock in and simple to disengage. No scary moments disengageing EVER.
Don't get the M520's, they are aluminium and not stell and will wear a lot faster. Not worth saving that little bit for the cheaper ones IMO.
each to his own though, what works for me may be terrible for someone else so try a few shoes out at the bike store and see what feels good. But the Shimano pedals just rock.
