Spd shoes with flat pedals.

[billiobob]

I have a very nice pair of Nortwave Goretex spd boots. Any suggestions as to how I can adapt these to use on flat pedals? I can remove the cleats but what could I fill the gap with to provide some grip. I have lost my confidence using spd pedals especially off road.

I never used SPD pedals off road, I’ve always used flat pedals on my mountain bike.

If you use some decent pedals like DMR’s your shoes will be fine with the cleats removed.

Thanks I have got similar pedals so will try your suggestion.

You can get 'blanking plates' for some shoes, maybe they could be modified to fit the boots.
