MTB SPD pedals on a Road bike?

[Downward]

Ooo mine have arrived
Ordered at 9.10am Friday, Posted 1st class and got here this morning at 9am.
To think they offer a £15 before 9am guaranteed service too, you can't beat 1st class imo.

Shimano A530 (combo flat/SPDs) for the Dahons, as I want flat shoes for my short commute- 2 miles or so- and I need safety shoes at work, plus any other time they're handy. The Viner (just bought off eBay) came with M540 SPDs, handily enough, so I'm sticking with them.

+1 SPD's, i like the walkability when i stop for a natural break!

Yep M520s here too. Practical and efficient.

Sprinter "Fast" Fred Rodriguez used to use original Eggbeater MTB pedals for road racing (3x US champion, 2nd Milan-Sanremo), so there can't be much difference in speed.
There are road-specific versions of the pedal now, but they aren't very different from the some of the MTB versions.

There are considerable benefits in having the same pedal/shoe system on all your bikes so it's any bike/any shoe. Soggy shoes from the day before? - just use another pair. Well-ventilated road shoes too cold? - use your winter MTB boots on the road bike. Pedal broke? - borrow one off another bike.

I use Time ATAC on all my bikes.

Another vote for ATAC; I use them on all except my race bike.

Eggbeaters on both bikes. Same shoes, spare cleats and fittings, no-brainer.

I like my A530...

M520 are truly the gonads of the Sylvicola fenestralis.
