does anyone have any recommendations for good cleats?
For road or MTB use? I use Shimano SPD for road and whilst the cleats don't last too long I have never had a problem with them. |

When I did this....prob not long after the Calne end sexy new bridge was opened, I was a bit disappointed that the old track bed was lost about half way along, and some road was involved. Is that still the case?
4D have a look at this little gem..no need to get your arse splattered...

I ride wearing Shimano R160's (I got them v cheap - they are nowhere worth the RRP) and they have been fine.... One thing to bear in mind is that Shimano shoes seem to be narrow and small (I take an 11shoe and I think my cycling shoes are a 12 or even 13!!) I tried Specialized ones on when I was looking and they seemed comfortable and wider but there were no deals about. Mates got some SIDI ones and they are proper comfy -but proper pricey too! Have you ridden with SPD's before? |

nossir, i've got the pedals already as the SPD R540's (only thing other than wheels i'd upgrade on the bike, and they'd need to be mega cheap). so whatever i use it'll be steep and painful curve

Getting used to clipless pedels is OK as long as you concentrate and plan ahead a bit at junctions, be careful of attractive women at traffic lights as everyone has to have the moment of making an idiot of themselves by someone catching their eye, forgetting to unclip and the associated shame! If you are after shoes Ribble have some deals this weekend... http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ |

I need some base layers (top and bottoms) and some winter gloves. It's getting a bit nippy in just a pair of shorts and with fingerless gloves.

I don't know about cycling, but I've stocked up on time to run stuff on Amazon, for running now its chuffing freezing. I'd imagine you'd want something more wind resistant as an outer layer, but as an undergarm it could still do a job. Stuff like This is decent priced and good quality. Also picked up a couple of These bad boys which have been a godsend! |
