If I am going to use these for SPD pedals do I need a converter or should I just buy the SPD bike cleats?

If you have a spd pedals & cleats you don't need a converter because it fits on 3 & 2 bolt pattern. Hope this would answer your question.

Honestly, i bought them. The size didnt match. Im always 41, but these were too small, and didnt have time to send it back to return. So they are in the closet still in the box. Im not professional in bycicles, and not sure what is SPD pedals. Sorry:)

There are adapters, just run a search and you should find several. These pedals are available in both sizes as well.

yes, you do need to ourchase sshoe cleats separately. Also, please make sure the screw pattern of the pedal rod of your bike is metric and not SAE.M.

No they are not very good platform pedals. The bearings on these pedals only lasted a few weeks, I suggest you buy something else.

Yes.These pedals are adequate. However, if you're looking for pedals as good as Shimano...not these. The clip in/out is not smooth. Quality is not high.

They require about the same movement of removing your feet from this type of pedal compared to clipless. I ride with these on my hybrid and bought a set of clipless for my road bike. These will get you used to having to pulll your foot out and these are harher to get your foot into sometimes compared to clipless.

I assume they are the SPD style of clip in pedals on this Schwinn. The pedals have the toe harness on one side and the clip in brackets on the other side. I just use the toe harness.

These are universal and should work fine. It does have a polarity switch. So if the pedal is working in reverse of what it should the flick of a switch should do it.

No. The pedal is similar to a road bike pedal but in SPD form allowing you to use SPD clips. Your foot rests more on the pedal than the standard SPD pedal allowing for a more comfortable ride if you are doing a long road outing.

Spd cleats. You can see or purchase them from Amazon here: Shimano SM-SH11 Road Pedal Cleat

No, You Need SPD-SL cleats for these, Road Bike Cleats. MTB Cleats are SPD's. The "Float" is different on road cleats so be very caustious if you decide to switch from SPD's to SPD-SL. Hope this helps:)

Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend. I STRONGLY recommend visiting a bike shop to try on shoes and find some that feel good! Otherwise, your bike rides will be short and uncomfortable. I personally LOVE these pedals, and I bought the Giro Trans Road shoes http://www.giro.com/us_en/trans-17797.html after trying on about 5 or 6 different pairs. I ride for fitness and fun (speed) and found that a road shoe with a very stiff sole and adjustable foot bed works best for me, but not everyone is the same. I ride a Trek 2.1 Triple with all Shimano 105 components. Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend.

SPD cleats and pedals are usually compatible but I'm not familiar with the shoe. Sorry

Yes, Shimano uses a proprietary cleat that works with all of their pedals. If you have Shimano shoes, they will certainly fit the cleat and pedal.

They bolted onto my cheap factory pedals on my Trek just fine. The pedals, however, do need to be designed to use toe clips. You need two bolt holes in the front and a slot in the middle of the sides for the strap to go through. If your pedals came on a road bike, they are probably good to go. Any other style of bike, you'll more than likely have to buy a set of pedals.

Technically yes but they're not very good when used with spd pedals. The cleats move around a lot (much more than a standard float) and unclipping is almost impossible. You'd be much better off with the mountain bike version of these (Shimano SH-M088).

I don't think so. Those are road bike pedals and spd cleats are for.mountain bike pedels
