Question about shoes..

littlemsfickle

Hi, I'm fairly new to cycling, have been going out on weekly leisure spins since the end of September. About 9 weeks ago I invested in a road bike and when I got it the guy in the shop fitted it with reversible pedals so that when I went to buy the clip-on shoes I wouldn't have to buy new pedals as well. I finally decided to take the plunge and bought a pair of SPD shoes online which I was told would be compatible with my pedals. It was only when they arrived today that I realised you need to also buy cleats to attach to the shoes. Do you need to get these fitted on or could I just pick them up in a bike shop when I'm in Dublin tomorrow and put them on myself? Sorry if this seems like a silly question

cleats come with the pedals - if you didn't get them then go back to the shop

should be able to buy SPD cleats no problem in Dublin. Fitting them is a doddle too.

Something like this

Though find your exact model of shoes

the pedals came on the bike, I guess that's why I didn't realise cleats were needed as well.

Thanks for the comments!

Howya,
I have a pair of spd shoes, bought them because they were cheap.
Now what would be a good cheap pair of clipless/flat pedals?
Would you be able to recommend where to get them cheap too?

Wiggle have a cheap pair this week that looks like it would be suited to commuting etc. Pearl Izumi Sprint Shoes

what I mean is that when you buy the pedals, the cleats come in the box. Sounds as if the shop fitted the pedals for you and didn't give you the cleats. Just because the shop fitted for you doesn't mean you shouldn't have got all that was in the box. I would really go back to them and chase it up.

I assume it's Shimano M324 pedals you have and these definitely come with cleats.
