Are these shoes good for a road bike and what peddles are best suited for a road bike

Yeah, but they are more made for the trail which I know they are great for, climbing up hills in when you get off the bike. On the road though, I feel like a road bike shoe would work better as there is no extra spiky tread that makes it harder to walk when you get off the bike on the road. They're quality though. As for pedals, look up Shimano clipless pedals and you can get a nice set for under 70 bucks. All Shimano pedals I've used are awesome.

After about 1year and 1300 miles they have been great. They are good to walk around when you are not on the bike I have shimano combo pedals spd on one side and regular on the other I think they are A530 or similar.

You can only get a more customized bike at a bike store. But The 22.5" is made for riders 5'9 to 6'1. Should be good for you. Road bikes are generally measure from the floor to the crotch area. That's how they determine proper height. Have fun

They should fit, depending on shoe type. I wear a size 12 running shose (Brooks at the moment), and have no trouble with a good fit. As others have stated in comments, you probably want to remove the reflectors which, for some strange an unexplainable reason, are mounted on the bottom of the pedal. Besides that, though, these are the only pedals I buy and mount on my road bike anymore. (i keep an extra set, just in case).

usually one piece cranks (part of the gear) take 1/2 inch; cranks that bolt to the bike are usually 9/16 inch; if the pedals on the bike are not marked you can always call the bike maker's 800 number and ask (which is what I did on one of my bikes) and if you give them the model they can tell you. These will fit just about any bike, road, mountain, comfort, or commuter; they are just a little wider and longer than stock pedals. I have a comfort bike(1/2 pedals) and a commuter bike (9/16 pedals) that I have used these on for two years with no problems and they really grip the bottom of the shoes well.

These pedals fit my "standard" road bike. I was not aware of differing thread sizes, so I am guessing these are as standard as they come. They are terific pedals. I keep a pair in my supply box for immediate replacement, but I've had these on my road bike for over a year and I ride about 1500-2000 miles a year.

That is the intended purpose of the mtn bike pedal. Although you could use them on almost any type of bike, as long as you have SPD compatible shoes.

I have only used them on my mt. bike- check with the manufacturer to see if they are compatible with road bike wheels.

well I have two high bread street/off road Diamond back adult frames and they fit just fine. just adjust the pedals and bars to slide into each other and your off.

I also swapped out a pair of Kenda 26 X 2.1 Knobby Tires that came with the Mountain bike (Diamondback Response) with these. No problems.Since I'm mainly doing asphalt or hard road riding, it's good to get some street tires. You can really feel the difference.

Yes the peddles will fit but you may need a special wrench to get the old peddles off unless they have an allen screw opening on the back of them. Also they are threaded backwards so right is loose left is tight

I'm not quite sure. I use them with Look style cleats, and its been awhile since I've used a bike at the gym.

I wear a size twelve and there is some flexibility for a somewhat larger shoe. I concur with the idea that size 13 or 14 men's might be the maximum. Remember that this fits only over the toe and even a very small toe will fit on the peddle, though getting optimum performance when lifting the peddle probably requires a shoe size near the maximum.

I'm a 10.5 regular and the 45 regular width is perfect. The Shimano shoes seem to run a bit smaller than others and you need to go at least a half size up. Regarding the toe straps, yes they would work as long as you didn't install cleats on the bottom of the shoes. You would lose most benefits of the shoe I would think, and would probably be better off just wearing running shoes or tennis sneakers with the toe straps - then at least you can walk around when you're off the bike. these, like basically all road bike shoes, are akin to ice walking when trying to get around.

Not that I'm aware of. I just wear running shoes. Not sure why you'd want cleats. Pedals have very satisfactory show saddle for secure footing. I'm not a cyclist outside, but very acceotable spinning bije

Sorry.made mistake. Gauge shoes were for mountain bike. I went with giro trans for the road bike.

Yes they will fit. My road bike with 700x23c wheels and tires just likes yours fits with room to spare
