I used those adapters to convert a pair of SPD-SL road shoes to gravel shoes by sanding the platforms down to match the curvature of the sole and installed the included cleat nuts inside the shoe.

As long as you can return them it seems fine, its expected right now, since you cannot try them out in person . I tried 3 different brands (shimano, northwave, decathlon) with different sizes in fall, and either my toes were slightly touching to front or i was swimming around. Now i ordered mavics and hope for dear lord they fit. My feet are kinda weird in form with a wide big toe but really long middle toes. Either the shoes have been to low in height or to narrow on the outer front.

Imo the SPD shoes can vary how they interface with SPD pedals and feel not as planted. I bought S-Works Recon last year and they feel same as my Sub6 with road pedals. Really tight, no rocking, just some float. Sole sits much closer to pedal body than Giro Empire VR90 on XTR pedals.

Entartaining video as always! Just a fast question, have you tried something like the shimano PD-ES60? They are cheaper and lighter than the XTR even though it's only one-side clip, but have a bigger platform like the spd-sl. I think they should be a nice combo with some fizik terra powerstrap for some touring with a road bike (if only fizik made this model in reflective or movistar fashion instead of dull colors )

​@@ridesofjapan The mounting was a bit weird as I was unable to get them tight enough initially, but using carbon paste between the metal part and your sole helps a lot to get the play out. At least in my case. The rubber thread walks off with time as you can imagine, but they're not too bad. Having a lightweight hybrid shoe with SPD mount and very minimal thread + stiff carbon sole yet has to be released though

I’ve been somehwat reluctant to get SPD pedals for this reason, and because sometimes I just want to commute around town in flat shoes (now I use Pearl iZumi flat shoes w/ Wellgo platform pedals).

@@ridesofjapan I ride Speedplay SYZR, and what I get from the manufacturer is that due to the different locking mechanism I would not depend on the tread to ride, only to let the cleats live longer when I walk on hard ground. Lots of adjustable float to safe my knee joints. I haven't watched Alex Dowsett's video yet, but I assume he was talking about out the 4 bolt pattern for the Speedplay road pedals ( think he mentioned it on gcn). I could imagine that having drilled an SPD slot in afterwards could be quite a tricky thing to do do while trying to keep the contact point structurally stable.

The word you're looking for (instead of "wrist") is "ankle" I think? Love the channel. I'm still using my 3-year-old (and ugly) Scott MTB shoes on my road bike with Crankbrothers Candy pedals. I bought a pair of Fizik X1 Infinitos last summer, looking slick, but I still have to adjust the cleats, it's been almost A YEAR now. I failed to exactly replicate the position as I didn't have a turbo back then, so it was extremely time consuming. Then winter (erm, rain?) happened and I returned to using Scotts. I was hoping to achieve that during the lockdown (I'm in the UK) but I still couldn't get around to it...

I believe we have passed each other a few times on the Arakawa, and I might be interested in the Xpedo M-Force 8 Ti pedals if you don't want them.

Must have been a while ago then as I moved up to Saitama a few years ago ;) If you’re interested in the pedals shoot me a DM on Instagram if you can 👍

Pearl Izumi US is a completely different company than Pearl Izumi Japan. PI in US sells a lot more cool stuff than Japan in my opinion.

Have you looked at the Shimano XC 701 ? They are advertised as XC MTB shoes, but are identical to the RC7s (minus the cleats and tread of course).

Those adapters are for those who want to ride SPD pedals without the convenience of being able to walk comfortably?

late to the party... the shimano pd-es600 is actually also worth a try. 279gr for a very nice price tag.

Crank Bros have good road shoe adapters, but for Crank Bros (not spd) pedals. I have Crank Bros Candy and Egg Beater pedals with both MTB and road shoes

What’s it like riding Shimano in Japan, is it national pride or common standard gears?
@ridesofjapan
@ridesofjapan 4 жыл бұрын
Pretty much like anywhere else, nothing to do with national pride more with availability and reliability . Campa definitely has a cult following here though.

I sell old stuff on eBay, many orders go to Miami, I figured it out once when they went to two addresses in the same business park. People get their international shipping by using this company to ship it to them from the company’s American address. So you just need to find the American company that will forward the product to you.

Another inspiring and superbly photographed video. Don’t listen to the trolls. Just delete the negative comments. All my bikes have xtr pedals when you are 20kg over weight a few grams extra on the pedals isn’t gonna hurt. After decades of poorly fitting shoes I’ve found northwave rebel mtb shoe bloody fantastic, the carbon soul is stiff and toe box is wide enough for my wide feet. I’ve not put them on the scales but who cares when your feet no longer hurt.

Cheers mate! Much appreciated! Not getting much hate (yet) I’m pretty think skinned either way though. You’re doing it correct... worrying about weight is not anything I wish on anyone, I use this as an outlet for my insanity hehe.
