While it may not seem like it at first glance, the platform width of the Shimano PD-A600 is actually better than many dedicated road systems out there. There isn’t much support lengthwise, though, so it’s still important to pair these pedals with stiff carbon-soled shoes.
It’s very easy to strip the threads from an aluminium crank arm and expensive to replace it if you do, so if you’re not sure the pedal is going in correctly unscrew it and start again.
Herrigstad has joined what he and others perceive is a trend of increased e-bikes usage, for commuting as well as recreational use.
As you explore, you’ll find that shoe stickiness, sole stiffness, pedal shape, pin length and pin shape all contribute to (or detract from) grip. Extreme combinations of pins and shoes can create so much grip that you can’t even reposition your foot without lifting it, and preference on this varies between riders. Particularly if you’re practising tricks, when you may find you want to get off the bike faster than an extreme pedal-shoe combo allows.
What is it about the extremities of cyclists that causes such heat? Â Helmets, and now, apparently, cleats.
A slightly more affordable version of the TIME Xpresso 15 pedals (which retail at a jaw dropping £400), the Xpresso 6’s are a little heavier (213g) but considerably more affordable.
I’m a skinny guy, so I’ve mastered the art of layering for my cold rides. When I got the Sportful R & D Zero jacket, which is one of the thickest, warmest jackets I’ve gotten my hands on, I knew I could drop a few layers. The jacket, despite having a bit of loft, still feels like a road-cycling piece. It’s great for late fall, early spring and even the occasional winter ride in Southern Ontario. The sizing is a bit silly though. I’m usually a size small. My R & D Zero is large and it’s almost snug on me.
The 10 adjustable pins provide ample traction, but I couldn’t feel any noticeable concavity at all. At times, the pedals felt like riding on giant square blocks. The large footprint also proved to be an issue when riding tight rocky trails.
The biggest difference between the two when it comes to pedaling is the float. The Time has the added float laterally, and your foot feels like it is pivoting from the center of the cleat. The Look’s float is all in the rear as it pivots off the front-cleat contact point. This difference doesn’t seem like much, but they each offer a very different and unique outcome.

There isn’t a triple option for EPS. In fact I don’t think there’s a triple option for any e-shifting system.
