SPD pedal converters?

[crisscross]

My daughter has just started using SPD cleats and has got the hang of them quite well.

It is a real pain having to take the pedals off when she uses street shoes on her bike though.

I'm sure there must be a converterthat will fix to the spd pedals to allow ordianry shoes to be worn.

Please can someone point me i the right direction.

Thanks

No such thing, unfortunately. You can get flat/SPD combo pedals- I use Shimano's A530s, which are excellent.

Yes there is.

SM-PD22

I might have some in the garage that you can have for postage if that's what you're looking for.

yep got some on my old mountain bike for my lad.

I stand corrected...only seem to fit certain models though.

Yep you're right:

This reflector (SM-PD22) is for use with the PD-M970/
PD-M959/PD-M770/PD-M540/PD-M520/PD-M515/PDM505
pedals only.

Many thanks for the swift response.

I'll have to check out which pedals she has and buy some before I lose more knuckle skin changing her pedals over next time!

Hi zexel. Sorry hadn't seen your edit.

Wow, that would be wonderful and we would both really appreciate them.

I'll pm you now.

Thanks again.

They are bloody horrible - that's why any post on here always elicits "I've got some you can have"

I wouldn't like to wear them on a wet day like today, and they are harder to flip over with your toe to bring the platform side up than toe clips are to do the same.

If Shimano put a little "tag" on the underside of the SPD reflectors like ordinary pedals have for flicking toeclips round that would be a design improvement IMHO

Simple answer is a new pedal

They work.

Maybe there is a knack to using them, but I found that those pedal convertors are quite difficult to remove once fitted. Worth a try though.

I found the opposite. I had a pair and every time you shuffled your foot they fell off.

The plastic bits on the convertors that mimic cleats get worn and become a bit unreliable.

These look like they might be better but quite a price by the time you've added the cleats and no reflectors if that is important to you.

i tried those pd22 things and I found them to be a bit crap -only suitable for very short rides and not in the wet as your feet will slip straight off!
