spd-sl to spd?

[Roadrider48]

I have used that conversion kit and it worked ok.
The only down side is that the cleats do protrude quite a lot. I would say even more than spd-sl's. So consequently they are a bitch to walk in. But riding wise ok.
As others have said, new shoes with the correct cleats are better.

I've used these for over a year solid on road and MTB. They still look and feel brand new.
Size wise, they are small fitting I.e. I'd normally wear size 43 but had to get 44.

I use the next one up with the ratchet, but these are as good.

Not quite, but stiff enough.

MTB shoes are the same as Road shoes when it comes to stiffness.
You get what you pay for.

I have these pedals & cleats that I first tried when going clipless. I wouldn't recommend them to a novice, but as you have been clipless for a while they might be ok for you & the cleat is metal (very spd style) so wont wear out. I can post them on if you like
