I purchased the CB Candy SL pedals about 3 months ago intending to put them on my MTB. I decided I wasn't ready for clipless on trails yet and so put them on my road bike and tried them with MTB shoes. I tried them with and without the "shims" and clipping in is really hard for me. It's not easy AT ALL! Also, the springs are really tight and I feel like there's not much float.
Previous to these, I was using cheapy double-sided MTB pedals made by Ascent (uses spd like cleats). These pedals are too cheap for the amount of road riding I am doing now and so now I am searching for a good, affordable road pedal that has a good amount of float (for my knees).
One issue I thought of with the Crank Bros. is maybe I don't have enough "umph!" to clip-in to them as well. I found that I had to stand up a bit and put my weight on each foot to clip-in. NOT SAFE! Either way, I am not impressed with them. Any suggestions? Any good, easy-clipping pedals anyone can recommend for a smaller cyclist? Thanks!
