This is lowbrow, but I'll mention it for the cheapskate in everybody  Igot a pair of the Nashbar 22 dollar double sided atb pedals made by Wellgo for my roadbike. I figured they'd be absolute ****e, but they're both fairly light, 380grams for the pair, and very comfortable. They don't even look cheap, just like all the other atb spd pedals out there, albeit at a third of the price.  You're probably looking for a dedicated road pedal--but they might be worth a look if you want something temporary while you search for your dream pedals on sale or on ebay. |

I've never been disappointed by Performance's house brand stuff, and they make both Look and SPD style pedals. Should be the price you're looking for.... |

An outstanding pair of pro-quality road pedals that can be had for less than $100 at several stores. They work fabulously well, are reasonable light, have a large platform, and are easy to get into and out of. Plus, they have adjustable float and adjustable release tension. Unless you are looking for a touring type of shoe, Look's are your best bet for 'pure' road riding. I use them everyday, and having tried many different types/brands of pedals, I always come back to Look's on my road bikes. (I use Crank Bro's 'Mallets' on my MTB.) Stay away from SPD and other similar 'small cleat' setups (like Crank Bros, Wellgo, Ritchey, etc.) unless you are specifically going with a touring type of setup and must have something reasonably walkable. IMHO, of course. Regards, H. |
