- description: Cycling tips: What is the best pedal system to use? Shimano XTR? Cycling tip for pedal systems? Personally I have riden literally 95% of the pedal systems out there and rate the 970-980 Shimano XTR pedal system as the BEST all rounder for weight, price and durability. Cleats last a lot of miles. Around 20 000miles for me and thats with lots of walking in supermarkets/race courses etc. Bearings are super durable and serviceable. Pedals are strong if you crash. Freelee uses the same pedal system as well. She finds it very convenient to use as a cyclist noob. Road shoes are great if you JUST race and never walk anywhere but for 99.9% of us they are goofy and over the top really. Hey, Ive had 800$ custom road shoes so can speak from experience. I wont ever use normal road shoes again as the ease of use with mountain bike cycling shoe is so good! Avoid buying shoes with laces as they can get caught in your chain. Buy an entry-race level xc shoe and try them on at the end of the day when your foot is the biggest. You want to have a bit of room to wiggle your toes as feet will expand on hot days/long rides. You can always do the straps tighter if need be. Specialized are a brand that make great fitting xc shoes as are Sidi and Shimano. Most cycling shoes are synthetic vs leather which makes sense for durability and karma.
