Is it possible to use mountain bike pedals on a road bike? |
I'm cheap and looking to use one pair of shoes for both my ATB and my road bike. I don't have the shoes yet so any suggestions on that would be cool too. Thanks. Yes, Shimano makes some shoes and clips that would be compatible on both. The important thing is the clips. I tried to be really versatile with my first ones and the clips even fit the pedal at my gym for "spinning" classes. Now that I've moved up to speedplay pedals and Sidi road bike shoes, I've learned a little more.. Speedplay makes a clip that can be used on mtn bikes & road bikes called a frog clip. Good Luck Source(s): http://www.speedplay.com/ http://bike.shimano.com/catalog/cycle/pr... i guess so Yes. I have used my Shimano clips on both for years. You might get some razzing from the roadies, but it should be no big deal. Sure they will fit. In fact some riders prefer mountain pedals because of their relative ease of entry and exit. They do make road pedals that use the same cleat as road. Shimano makes a couple of dual purpose models. No problem. I see that done many times. That is also what I am doing. -Yup, but the Mountain Bike pedals are usually a Yittle bit heavier. Go to a local bike shop and ask for any Take-off pedals. I went to my local bike shop and got a pair of gerneric SPD clipless pedals with cleats for $15. That is what you usually pay for just the cleats! -If you are going to use the same shoe for Road and MTB, I would go with a pair of XC Mountain Bike shoes. They are very similar to the Roadie Shoes, but the MTB shoes have Lugs on the soles for traction and are yust a Yittle bit more heavier, yust a yittle. -Hope this helps! |
