Sorry, rookie question. Do crank bros. smarty pedals fit spd cleats? And does £25 a pair sound reasonable?

Cheers

CB cleats are softer than SPD cleats and the pedals will come with cleats.

Heres the pedals they do not come with cleats!!! So spds wont work?

Does the price sound good?

Shocked Duh! Sorry, completely missed that link!

So the new cleats would fit on to my shoes with no problems?

How do people rate these?

i hate crank bros pedals, only tried the acids but very hard to engage and only have to hit a tree stump or rock and feet keep poping out as it only takes a few mm of twist to disengage also i never know when im clipped in because you dont get a nice crisp click like shimanos.

Got the Quattro's, great for road/turbo. Nice lady from Cranks said they "could" be used for off road too, but not too sure myself...

Like 'em but got 3 pairs Time Atac's and 1 pair of the Z's too, so haven't used 'em much.

Thinking of going for the Acids next Spring.

I on the other hand feel you get a better click in on CBs Cool I've also found SPDs clog up and ice up in winter,CBs don't Very Happy

Each to there own Cool
