    I am trying to figure out what shoes, pedals, cleats for a beginer

    I'm confused as to what combo to get.

    I saw this combon on bike-discount.de

    Shimano SH-R077 racing shoes
    Exustar Cleats SPD E-C01
    Shimano SPD-SL Pedals PDR 540 silver

    For a total cost of €82 (assume each pack of deals/cleats come in pairs)

    What do people think? Is there better options for less than €100?

    When I bought these the cleats came with them.

    Fit is everything

    I'd take a 10 normally so a 45 (10.5) seems to be the best fit

    I started cycling about 2 months ago and use shimano shoes with keo easy pedals. Very good. Clips in well but you can get unclipped quick enough at traffic lights etc

    I will sell you spd sl pedals and cleats for 20 euro if you are interested. I don't like them and only used them twice. I changed to the mtb spd pedals instead.

    I can meet you in drogheda, slane or dublin near Easons if it would suit? PM me if you are interested. I have an ad on adverts with the shoes as well but they are too small for you.
