I was looking for a new pair of cycling shoes for my road bike, and I currenly have SPD pedals on my bike. I do lots of km's per year and don't have any real leg problems. I was thinking of getting some SIDI shoes and getting an adapter for SPD, but SIDI nolonger do this for their road shoes.
I was told that on a road bike if you use SPD pedals, it may cause knee and ankle and Achilles problems and there would not be one pro cyclist using this pedal system.
Has anybody encounted this as a serious problem, and if they went to SPD-SL did it overcome it,or is is this a part of cycling mythology ?
Whats the concensus among us pain junkies ?
