Hi All,
I have just ordered my first road racing bike from my lbs. I have decided to try and shop online for the items mentioned in the title as prices seem to be more competative. I am a UK size 12 which is a Euro 47.5. My first question is;
Will a size 12 fit my huge feet, or should I get the next size up as the shoes appear to be narrow towards the toe?
On to pedals,
I have been looking at wiggle.co.uk and I have picked out these pedals http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Time_Xen_Pedals/5360032828/. I will be doing at least a 14k round trip to work and back depending on which route I choose. I am also thinking about having a go at a sprint triathlon to see how I like it. Will these pedals stand the test of time or should I be buying a different pedal?
Now to show my a**
Which is the best way to make sure that the cleat/shoe/pedal all match if you are buying different brands? On wiggle they link you straight to the cleat the one for the above pedal is http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Time_RXS_~_Impact_~_Xen_Pedal_Cleats/5360016548/
Common sense tells me that I will need a shoe with a three bolt pattern. I was wondering if there are shoes with different three bolt patterns or are three bolt patterns standard?
Wiggle is the only website I have looked at so far and they seem reasonable are there anymore sites I should be looking at?
