Default Re: Which Shoes - Road Bike?

On the tyre it says: 700x25c is that the size?

Also I fancy a pair of those wiggle own brand shoes, but as they are online I'm not too sure on sizing.

Dunno about Wiggle's own brand shoes, but Chain Reaction had some good deals on Shimano shoes (I paid £22 IIRC). I found that Shimano shoes were sized a bit smaller than normal so I had to send them back for a bigger size. I'd be wary of buying shoes without trying them now.

I've got the wiggles own brand shoes they've been excellent, not that I have anything to compare them to. The shoes come with some yellow spd-sl cleats, they last quite well as long as you don't do much walking. Sizes seem pretty standard.

Sizes:

42-7
43-8
44-9
45-10
46-11
47-12

Found these:

Do I need to buy the attachments for the bottom of the shoes or do they come with the shoes?

These are some of mne ( I am sad enough to take a pic and post it on bikeradar a while ago ) I forgot I had a panasonic one as well..

It could be worse - I used to have the matching 'denim' shorts to go with the carrera jersey

I know, pricey arent they

Shoes are to personal a thing to comment on, especially where fit and comfort is concerned. The DHB stuff from wiggle is generally decent enough to get started with though.

No you'll need to buy some cleats, they come with the pedals not the shoes. As each pedal system is different.
