I ride both spd's and look-style road cleats. My audax bike has spd's, my racer has the looks. Reason being, on the audax bike I'm (usually) doing bigger distances so am more likely to stop to rest and have a wonder around - that's easier to do in spd's.
But I was speaking to someone on Sunday about LEL. They suggested I use road cleats for that because your feet will be more comfortable (spd's more prone to 'hot spotting') and that better transfer of power will be beneficial for the legs over the longer distance.
What are your thoughts/experiences?
