Re: grrrr - matching pedal cleats to shoes
Nah..wasn't screw length...it was placement of holes in shoe sole were
spread too far apart for Ritchey V3 cleats. Turns out the pedals/cleats are SPD-R and SIDI shoes no likey SPD-R. Got Look pedals instead and now I'm set. -PJ "Mike Jacoubowsky" <mikej1@ix.netcom.com> wrote in message news:k47bc.45159$J02.31593@newssvr25.news.prodigy.com... > > Bought new road bike yesterday.
