Hi All
I have recently come back to cycling to try to get a bit fitter and lose some weight. Last year I
bought a Dawes Discovery 201 (hybrid bike) and after a lapse for the winter am back into cycling 4
or 5 times a week.
After reading advice here I have purchased some Shimano SPD M037 shoes which make a fantastic
difference. I would next like to get some clipless pedals and was looking for a bit of help.
All my journeys are on road, quite hilly, and I am starting to manage 20
- 25 mile trips without feeling like death (although looking at the average speed debates on this
group I have a long way to go !).
The recommended pedals on the Shimano web site are PD-M424 (£23), PD-M515 (£20) or PD-M324 (£28).
The 424s have a pop-up binding - I have no clue what this means ! The 324s are SPD one side and flat
the other (useful I imagine) The 515s are cheapest but have no "cage".
Also which cleats ? Do they come with the pedals ? Which are best the single or multi directional
release ones.
Finally (whew !) should I be looking at other makes instead of Shimano and would they be OK with
my shoes ?
Any info would be great.
