settled on the Shimano M520 SPDs

So I got them

And then purchased some specialised shoes. Good stuff. I'm sure the cleats aren't in the right place for me though. Also fall number one. Right outside my house ahah


Unclipped the right with the aim of leaning right and when stable unclipping left. My bike however wanted to go left: my clipped side.

Ah well. Was funny none the less

Jmetz these guides might be of use for getting the cleat position right, this for the angle and this for the position fore/aft, left/right in response to any pain.

Welcome to the world of clipless

Ho ho - I did that once, but the other way round! 

I was pulled up on the left hand side of a sports car which was waiting to turn right. Two attractive young women were in the car. When there was a gap in the traffic, I clipped in my right foot and stomped down on the pedal but as I was fiddling about trying to clip the left pedal in, I overbalanced to the right and ended up sprawling in the road next to the car, still clipped in!  

At least the women thought it was funny...

Wouldn't have happened if they'd been munters.....

We've all done it.

Had the pedals a few days now, not done a ride over 30 miles, however, instantly i noted a slight twinge on the inside left of my knee, i note in the suggested links, such discomfort is mentioned and described as 'common'...

Anyone else have this issue, and resolve it?
