OK, here's the lowdown. I've had SPD pedals on all of my bikes for years
(though I just switched to Look on the road bike). My right pedal just
fell apart, so now is the time to make a change if I am going to.
My requirements are;
Durability (I am well into the 'clydesdale' category @ 6'1" and 215lbs
and have never been gentle with equipment)
Ability to 'shed' mud, Ice and other stuff (I do a lot of mud/snow/ice
riding). The main reason I dislike the SPDs I have now is that once they
get muddy or iced up I spend the rest of the ride fighting to get clipped
in.
Ability to adjust the release... I like my pedals VERY loose.
I was just about convinced by some fellow riders to go with the Time Atac
pedals until I found out that the release can't be adjusted. So unless
somebody can suggest something better I guess I am looking for an SPD
pedal that has good mud/**** shedding ability. Is there a particular
pedal that has a more 'open' design that might be better in dirty
conditions?
Thanks for any suggestions.
