Hi All

New to riding, I have been using my mountain bike to and from work, but I joined a gym and have been doing a few spin classes.

To get used to cleats I was going to look at buying a second pair of cycle shoes but am stuck on, are there different cleats? I am not sure the ones they use in spin classes which I will be predominately using them for. Has anyone done a spin class and use cleats? What are the name of the ones I should be using?

The cleats on spin bikes at FF are the SPD variety I think. The smaller form cleats compared to Look style ones, normally used more for a MTB I think.

yeah - i discovered that when I thought I'd be smart and take my cycling shoes in for a class and kept trying and trying and they just wouldn't clip on... what a dork So I don't know what mine are called - but they aren't those ones!

ok so I have see some shoes where there is nothing on the bottom and has SPD compatible?!?!?! so what does that mean? do I have to buy the bit that goes on the bottom? whats that called? sorry but I am really dumb when it comes to cleats.

Yep, go and buy the cleat that will be screwed into the base of the shoe.

SPD Cleat

i tried afew spin classes and was getting peed off when i couldn't wear joggers so i got geared up,bought my own shoes/cleats and thereafter had no probs if i got there early, used an allen key to fit the pedals,much better,i bought sidi tri shoes and look lookalike pedals and cleats all lined up by the guy in the shop-briz
