  1. Hello all, I just got hold of a set of clipless pedals made by "VP".
    However, I couldn't find what type they are on the internet. They're
    similar to the R-61 type they make these days, only the front end is
    more pointy and the the rear end runs straight instead or arching toward
    the middle.

    Here are some pics:

    Does anyone know what type they are, and if they use VP's "bio-cleat"
    cleats? The binding looks standard SPD to me.

    Cheers,
    Robin

    VP usually means Wellgo.

    Sir: they are VP 162 pedals. You're welcome!

    As you can see, it takes a CO-1 VP cleat. After looking at the photo of
    that cleat, I am guessing this is a fully SPD compatible cleat and pedal.

    That's not certain! Some cleats and pedals (Ritchey...shudder) look very
    close to a standard SPD but do not work. However, VP works hard for its
    money in the cheap-and-cheerful end of the market, where SPD
    compatibility is the gold standard.

    It's discontinued now. What else do you want to know?
