[Tenkaykev]

Could you share a link to the adaptor you’ve ordered? I couldn’t find an alternative on Aliexpress at time.

I have found my payment details for the item but the link has now expired and the seller seems to no longer supply to the UK. I paid £8.50 in Dec 2020 and it is a generic, unbranded item. There seem to be very few such items if I run a search now.

That’s the one I tried. It’s not suitable for EZY Superior but for Ezy only. It doesn’t lock on Superior pedals. Ezy and Ezy superior have different locking mechanisms.

Being a heretic I like 2way SPDs. That way when it is 40C I can wear flipflops and when it is -13C Sorels. Most of the time the clip side and SPD shoes let me pull up as well as push down and keep my feet on the pedals. That and standing on the pedals is good for short but steep sections.

I'm with you on that. The Shimano XT T8000 SPD Trekking Pedals have done over 24,000km without ever making a noise, engage with cleats well, just a flip back with in Birkenstocks. Plus, properly legal UK pedal with having reflectors, and pretty damn light.

Although, sometimes, it's nice to add these pedals... just for the data...

Had to zoom in to spot that they were Garmin power meter pedals 😎👍

I like the decal.

Relocated pedal holder to the rack connection bolt to accommodate new kickstand. Pretty happy with setup.

Guilty as charged. They only double the value of the Brommie when they're attached, rather than triple the value of my Triban RC500. WTF did I do!??!?! Have to say though, they seriously help pacing on the climbs around here. Also, Strava 'estimated power' never takes into account headwind, or how many beers you're carrying in your bag! The software engineer in me needs more data anyway! It was bad enough when I had to get a road bike and turbo worrying that UK would do what Italy, Spain and France had done. Although, think I got a fantastic road bike for the money, but there no cheap power meters for Sora, or Brommie. Waited years for IQsquare to deliver (thankfully didn't back). I justified enough, right? Work fine in the luggage rack too.
