Do Shimano SPD road pedal clips fit on Mtn Bike shoes?

[andy.kalish@verizon.net]

I'm thinking of buying Shimano Ultegra PD-6620 SPD-SL Road Pedals...
I’m wondering if the cleats will fit my shoes. My shoes are diadora
Mtn bike shoes (because I like to be able to walk off the bike) circa
1997, and have about 1.5 inch wide recessed area for the cleats.

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the PD-6620 cleats that come with
the pedals, and if you know if they will fit shoes that have recessed
cleats?

If they will not fit my shoe, can you recommend a shoe that will allow
me to walk and still use these pedals?

SPD-SL road pedal has a 3-bolt cleat, the shoe has to have three cleat
attachment screw holes. SPD mtn bike pedals have 2-bolt cleats. I
seem to recall having seen a shoe model or two which had both style
cleat mountings, but not recently and not in a prominent or popular
shoe brand. You might check Performance Bike or Bike Bashbar online
for such a thing. The answer to your first question is basically NO.
There was a shoe by LAKE brand that had big rubber cleats on the sole
that kept the cleat from touching the ground when you walk. It was
marketed as a touring shoe and if I recall correctly, it had the
3-bolt hole pattern for cleat attachment.

By the way, Speedplay Frog mtn bike pedals have a 2-bolt cleat and are
very popular with a lot of serious recreational road riders. Might
have a look at them. They will work well with your shoes.

Hope this helps.

The don't fit MTB shoes.

What makes these pedals so special? If you want to walk use some kind of
ATB pedals. SPD, Time Atac, Speedplay Frogs etc. They are all two sided
as a bonus.

SPD-SL type cleats will only work on a smooth sole shoe.

Those type pedals and cleats are not made to walk around. If you want
to walk around you need a different setup.

Lake makes some that supposedly work with Look cleats, but the whole
idea seems ridiculous:

http://www.lakecycling.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=CX120

I use Ultegra pedals on my road bike, but when I use that bike I do no
walking. On the bikes I do walking with, I use other pedal systems.

No they will not. You need non pontooned shoes with the now standard 3
bolt, Look type pattern.

Almost all. Shimano's A520:

<http://bike.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/pedals/road/product.-code-PD-A520.-type-pd_road.html>

is single-sided.

If you decide for SPD it would be dumb to pick single sided.

That's your opinion. Others obviously do not agree, otherwise Shimano
wouldn't make them.

What about cornering / ground clearance? What about component quality
and overall cost? What about fewer moving parts to maintain? I don't
know if these are valid - just some thoughts that came to mind.

For some people with rather long cranks on low BBs the cornering
clearance might be a point.

I simply find them more convenient: always hanging the same way it's
easy to tip and click without looking.

Comparing the A520 with my two sided 747 the A520 with its cage
offers a more solid base, using MTB shoes.

Hardly valid IMHO. Many people have some kind of excuse not to use two sided
SPD pedals. Even top notch XTR SPD pedals (70 euro) are cheaper than most
racy road pedals.

Potentially.


> What about component quality and overall cost?

No quality question left open with high end two sided SPD pedals,
and road pedals tend to be more expensive. You typically won't get
Ti spindles...which I think is in line with quality 8)


> What about fewer moving parts to maintain?

Doesn't apply. Bearings are good, overall design is for mud and
dirt anyway.


Of course one, IMHO valid, aspect is the looks.

The meta-question is why you bought SPD-SL pedals if you like to be able
to walk off the bike.

Dirty secret time: SPD is perfectly fine for most cyclists in most
circumstances. I raced, with some success, on SPDs. The only reason I
changed to Crank Brothers pedals (also walkable, of course) was because
they're a little better for cyclocross (SPDs tend to get clogged up if
you try walking through mud and then rapidly remounting your bike).

If I've understood correctly, he hasn't bought them yet - he wanted to
know if he did, would they fit the shoes he already has.

The Shimano A520 pedals cost a *lot* less than that (like less than
half...)

Did you measure the difference in cornering clearance. I think a wider cage
works in the wrong direction.

I just step on my double sided SPD without looking.

I have found a pedal to satisfy both of you:

It's a floor wax, and a dessert topping,

Nope, I'm partly still using PD6500 (old Ultegra), Exustar make
similar one sided SPD.

With the 747 I find that I can hit them on small side where the
cleat will catch a little and I've to re-enter.

So, "One side Look ARC binding, one side SPD binding". Should I get the left
side shoe with a Look cleat and the right side shoe with an SPD cleat, or
the other way around?

To minimize cleat wear, SPD on the foot you normally put down at
stoplights, Look on the other.

Very logical answer - so for me that will be Look left, lean right.
