I have a 2004 Trek 1000 road bike with Shimano PD-M540 MTB-style clipless pedals and Shimano SH-MO38 MTB-style shoes (the ones you can use for walking).
I have noticed that most "serious" road/racing bicycle riders use the racing-style clipless pedals and racing-style shoes (the ones you can *not* walk properly)
Can anyone illuminate me on the advantages and disadvantages of those racing-style bicycle shoes and clipless pedals as compared to my MTB-style set-up, when both set-ups are used on a road/racing bicycle, please?
Never mind. I found some past discussions on this topic.
thanks!
