I have a nice pair of heels but only use cleats.

Like megster I have spiky pedals (which nicely shred the leg under the 'right' circumstances) and a pair of trail shoes. That does me fine at the moment. I guess it's what you're used to. I don't know any different.

Adidas have taken over five ten and are now using their sticky rubber. Other half got a pair over Christmas and is pleased with them so far. Uses them with spiky pedals. My 10 year old had the full spiky pedal shredding experience recently, thought she'd broken something the noise she made.

I only know 5.10 in relation to climbing shoes. Do they make cycle shoes too?

I use to ride a lot in 5.10 and Saint pedals and never really liked it and went back to clipless. On the other hand two mates ride solely in flats and one even rides his CX with flats.

About This Thread

Maintained by cathrobinson
Since the last appearance of Kaph, some time ago... there are now three wheel sizes, and now new plus (+) tyres for the even more adventurous!

26 / 27.5 (650b) / 29 / 27.5+ (650b+) / 29+ / fat
whatever you ride, enjoy it :)

Gravel also welcome :)

Also, is 26 dead yet?
