Newbie question on pedal s & Shoes
I just received a Giant Yukon with Shimano PD-324 pedals and Shimano
SH-M120 shoes as a gift. I am new in using cycling shoes and clip pedals but when I try to clip the shoes in the pedals they don't seem to clip not sure if I am doing it wrong? When I went to the Shimano website it is telling me that for the shoes they recomend that I use the PD-M540 and PD-M520 pedals. What should I do, would I have to exchange the pedals or shoes or is their something else I could could do. Wouldn't the sales person that sold the bike to my parents with the pedals know what shoes suited them? Thanks Rookie |

Those shoes might be a little heavy duty for those pedals, but they should work fine. If you can't figure out how to clip in, ask the salesman to show you how. |

Re: Newbie question on pedal s & Shoes
There are probably hundreds of shoes that will work fine with the pedals you
have. Have you installed the cleats int he pedals? If so have you done it with the arrow pointing to the front and the ridged end against the shoe? You might need to remove a tab over the hole for the cleats before installing the cleats.

If memory serves the pedals are shipped with the spring tension way up. -- Derek Hodges Toronto |

The -324 pedals are reversible (it's the kind I have), with SPD on one side and a platform for toe clips on the other; make sure you're using the correct side with your cleats. You have mounted the cleats on the shoes, haven't you? -- Remove the ns_ from if replying by e-mail (but keep posts in the newsgroups if possible). |
