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:)

No they will need a special shoe. The normal shoe is a lot wider then this pedal. If you are looking to just use normal sneakers some stores sell these clips that you shoe actuall fits in and that is what I had prior to these pedals. I will say that since I have converted to these, I wonder why I did not do this before, they make such a big difference.

If it's the same as SPDs ,it prolly work. As long it's SPD compatible, you should be fine. Fyi, these goes underneath your shoes....

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.

No, you have to purchase new pedals if you want to use cycle shoes. I installed them easily and really like using the cycle shoes. I think you get a better workout. Just remember the threads may be reversed.

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.

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

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).

Yes they will but you have to buy the cleats separately. Just look for the Shimano SM-SH52 SPD Cleat Sets.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

Harbor freight has foot pedal switches, CHEAP. Not the best quality, but they work. You may have to rewire the ends. You can purchase the ends there to.

Yes, that is correct. You can either purchase pedals from us separately or use pedals that you already use for your road bike. Thanks, Andy

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

You can use any cycling shoe with clips for indoor and outdoor - as long as you have the right clips that work with the pedals - ie Look Delta or SPD

Joe said it first, but yes the SM-SH11 cleats work with these as they are SPD-SL cleats. As a matter of fact, my pedals actually came with a pair of those exact cleats! (The yellow, self-aligning SPD-SL one) So you'll probably end up with a spare set.

It depends in your pedals. The cleats that come with these shoes are the standard 2 bolt SPD cleats. Many trainers use this type.

I'm not an expert but I believe these are meant to be used with some type of cleat. And yes they are quite small. They look simaler to a racing pedal in size and shape. I have not used the ones I bought.
