Don’t bother riding gravel it’s crap
If I had a gravel bike I'd just run SPD XC pedals and use my MTB shoes, even keeping my cleats shoved all the way back like I do for MTB.
Don’t tell me how to live my life 😤
Just wear shoes
"Gravel specific".. that means mountainbike shoes.
I use mountainbike shoes for everything, from road to gravel to mtb. But they need to be super stiff!
Depends on the gravel. Out here in BC things get technical quickly so I would use my MTB shoes. But If I was just doing towpaths all light to gravel I would use road shoes maybe.
Flats all day …
Gravel-specific equipment is the biggest scam of modern cycling.
Clipless for the road bike.
Flat pedals on the gravel bike.
That's just me.
To each their own.
I wear the spd for road as easier to get in and out
I just use my Uvex work boots. I hate clip less pedals, the amount of time I forgor about them and tried getting off my bike only to end up falling like a log is way more than a few times. Flat pedals with pins is the way to go for me
Always thought those gripless monstrosities a bit of a fetish item… but then again I dont subscribe to the clip in an lycra cult 😉
I no longer ride road shoes or pedals on any bike. Time Atacs on all my bikes, road or MTB. One exception: flat pedals on my 51 year old Raleigh Sports, 3spd IGH, 3-spring Brooks B73 saddle. My town bike extraordinaire!😁
In the days before SPD, I met a guy who used Look pedals on his mountain bike with a piece of old tyre glued to the underside of his shoes!
Hank is the Hammond of GCN
Spider Plus 3 MTB shoe 24 – I can run I these on actual mixed trips. Here in norway we have all the terrain.
Gravel pacific? 😂
Meanwhile Im riding with my sandals and looking at the comment sections like… what are these people talking about 😵💫
500 miles 😂😂😂😂😂
Are gravel Pacific shoes ones you can wear in the ocean?
Tbh I don’t have the budget to drop a load on a decent pair of MTB shoes. I always ride road shoes when gravel riding. I just do one thing and it works perfectly on every ride and race….
Get good and don’t fall over
Flat pedals all day for me I’m afraid. Also shorts and a t shirt and I’m not an Olympic athlete, I’m just going out for a cycle, maybe a picnic and possibly even a pint..
Larry Warbase from Decathlon AG2R wore road shoes in Unbound
Sure you do couldn't care less about treads I use my road shoes on my gravel bike all the time. More marketing garbage
But also you'll twist the sole off the shoe
“Gravel Pacific” wtf does that even mean.
Gravelling without walking, road shoes is the way. If you gravelling requires you to walk then use the old Spd's 😊
Gonna miss Manon soooo much!
Gravel pacific? Ohh dear ohh dear…
I ride Time ATACS on everything. I started with them on Mtn bike, now on road, touring and gravel. Makes no sense to me to have different pedals/shoes/cleat setup for different bikes.
Who uses SPD shoes and clipless pedals ? Cycling should be about casually riding and having fun, not about who has the more expensive gear or who's the fastest… if i want to be fast on a casual ride i take my delimited custom e-bike and go 70km/h while my friends struggle pedaling
Just wear your regular street gym shoes with regular pedals all of that extra gear is totally unnecessary
Oh and one more thing. It is roadshoes where you can put SPD-cleats. Don't.
It is desperately uncomfortable to walk more than 2 meters. Use spd-sneakers or something like that if you don't want to use gravel-shoes.
Remember, if you don't buy the gravel specific shoes the manufacturers can't sell you the gravel specific shoes along with the road specific version 😂
SPD sandals, even on the road.
That time my speedplay pedals filled up with dirt and I couldn't get out of the pedals…
I just use flats and Five-Tens on all my bikes, Road, Gravel, and MTB 😀
Keep catching front wheel with my spd shoes. Don’t want to shift cleats too far forward and be “on my toes” all day. Any one else had this problem any recommendations for shoes to fix it?
