Default Re: MTB pedals on a road bike? Second question

I use single-sided SPD pedals because I use the SH-71 SPD road cleat (with
"pontoons") on road shoes, and the double-sided pedals (Icon brand) which I had
didn't work very well with the road cleat. It was hard to clip in. Has anyone
any experience using the SH-71 cleats with the new Shimano double-sided pedals
(959, 540 or 520)?

I've used SH71's in double sided 525's and similar pedals. Also have
used the double sided cleats (the name of which escapes me right now)
in the single sided SPD road pedals. There was no perceptible
difference.

The ICON pedals probably didn't use the actual SPD cleat.

Pontoons were mostly to keep you from grinding down the cleat edge
whle walking.
