Typical for an internet forum. I wouldn't call those "budget" especially compared to the prices of the other options listed. Someone on a car forum asks for a reasonably priced car to transport their kids around and someone recommends a Porsche. |

I did find the Shimano PD-R540 for $34 plus shipping at Bike Nashbar. |

So consider these light weight beauties: PD-7900 (On Sale)

| Member 7 Titusville | Subject: RE: Pedals on a budget Thanks again all. I guess I should have been more clear. For me, the <$40-50 is budget. I now realize that the shoes are likely the most expense part. I just didn't want to buy some crap pedals that would leave me needing/wanting more after only a few rides. |

| Subject: RE: Pedals on a budget Is this for a mountain bike? You probably want to stay away from SPD-SL pedals since they are not compatible with mountain bike shoes/cleats. |

Uhm: I'm trying to upgrade a cheap mountain bike. Sounds like a limited budget to me.Seriously, for a mountain bike, go with straight SPD pedals. Cheap, effective, small. You can even get some pretty cheap that have a platform on one side and a cleat receiver on the other. |

Champion 6962 Atlanta, Ga | Subject: RE: Pedals on a budget As some have said, if it's a MOUNTAIN bike and you're riding on trails, then get SPD pedals. Do NOT get road pedals (aka Shimano). If you're going to use your Mtn Bike to do on-road triathlons, then get the Shimano pedals. Why? On the trails you want to be able to unclip very quickly and SPD's are great for that. On road, you want the best transfer of power possible and for your feet to stay clipped in. Hope that helps. |

Member 297 Ann Arbor | Subject: RE: Pedals on a budget I got on craigslist and bought the first pair of LOOK compatible pedals I could find. They cost me $10 for the pedals, and $15 more for new cleats at REI. Worth it. |
