Clip in Pedals Advice?

Granite Head · 2010-11-12 23:34:14

Newbie - looking to get first clip in pedals for road bike :confused: Looking at Shimano 105 PD-5700 SPD-SL Pedal or Shimano 105 PD-R540 SPD-SL Pedal. Not sure of the difference? Looking at these only because the majority of components on the bike are 105s and would welcome any advice on best choice for first set of clip…

Thanks in advance.

I bought a set of the Shimano R540 pedals when I recently bought my first road bike.
The pedals do the job perfectly for a recreational cyclist like myself.

Not sure what benefit there is in upgrading to the R570's. They do look to be a little wider so maybe offer better support.
