Do you actually mean SPDs, like, the Shimano brand stuff, or do you mean
you need advice on which brand of clipless to buy?

You've given us absolutely no information, so it's a bit unreasonable to
expect us to be able to help you. Have you used clipless pedals before
on other bikes? What's the terrain like? Does it get muddy a lot where
you ride? Do you have any knee problems, and if so, which?

He's posting from the UK, judging from the addie, so I'd be willing to bet it
gets muddy. ;-)

The most cost effective SPD pedals are the M520. Unless you ride a lot in
thick, deep mud, They work great and are inexpensive, relatively speaking.

Ah, but he has. He lives in France and is getting out of road biking
because he can no longer stand to be in the same sport as Lance. He has
a doctoral in statistics and his friends call him Dr. X, because it
sounds cool. He listens to a little rap, but his wife doesn't know. He
broke his right pinky four years ago in a freak accident in an omlette
contest.

Given that, I think he should go with Egg Beaters.

Truly, your mind works in mysterious ways.

I'm a UK Peak District rider and recommend egg beaters over SPD type
pedals. Shed mud better, had spd's before. SPD's get [censored] up where I
ride........very muddy, gritty, [censored]..you name it. And this is in the
summer!

I only rarely see any mud where I ride. Something about being in a
desert climate. Even if it does rain, the air is so dry that the
moisture gets sucked up almost instantly. We've had some mud recently,
but that's because of an extremely unusual several weeks of rain. I
wouldn't expect to see weather like this again for a few decades. It's
all over now, though, and we're back to dust and rocks as usual.
