I am using MTB cleats

But never tried RB cleats so I dunno the difference.

I'm using this at the moment.


Previously used road.


For me and my santai riding style, no difference. Only thing is the MTB style pedals a bit heavier than the Road pedals. 

Those who want to use MTB cleats from roadbike, can just buy the adaptor. Easy peasy.

I most likely stick back to RP5xx series... works well for me plus doesn't burn a hole in my pocket. Was given Torch 2.0 but saving it for trainer or back-up.

I do agree Fizik doesn't like fat footed guys like us... 

Hey guys, can anyone recommend me a road bike with budget RM 2-3K? I'm quite interested with Decathlon RC500 & 520 however they dont have stock.

why specifically need alu disc fork? I think cos alu transfers more vibrations and shock, even cheap road bikes alu frame also use carbon forks to tune the layup and have a bit of vibration dampening. usually see mtbs or town bikes with alu forks, rigid or with suspension

oh, so going for mtb style brake levers without shifters? tried BBS? try 29" wheel forks if really cannot find alu for 700c, as long as the bearing sizes are same should be ok, front might be abit taller than before though

i think the concept is just the same, only different designs

more walking = mtb
less walking = road.

mtb shoes easier to walk as its cleat is lower than the soles.

The cleats on RB setup is bigger and wider, ensuring full contact and theoretically better power efficiency. MTB cleats are smaller, allowing easier clipping in and out.

Shoes wise, RB ones usually tight fitting to avoid unnecessary movement and again ensuring maximum efficiency, while MTB ones may allow some slack for more comfort and has more look choices.

probaby.  i know some Giro branded with sneaker look.

anyway lately i cycle with sandals more lol

if you are riding for short distances mtb enough, road has bigger platform so more comfortable less pressure under the foot at the cleat area. mtb cleats last longer if you unclip often, road ones quite soft

fizik in general quite narrow, gaerne quite wide compared to other italian brands. the g.chrono and g.stilo are quite nice hehe

Ah Chat,

U mentioned single speed bike ( ride on road), i presume your not riding a road bike.

Fixie or probably a single speed foldie/velo perhaps?

If ur mainly riding town areas, stop a lot and walk around a lot doing your thing..then stick to ur mtb cleat kind of shoes.
I didn't say MTB shoes specifically, but there are touring shoes that based on MTB cleats. Such as from Shimano range, and quite a few actually.
These shoes are normally comfy, not built like tank as MTB shoes, and great for walking and cycling. 

I have been using both platform for a long while for my roadies, foldies and velos..all on roads , long distances and short commutes like you.

Since ur not doing road biking on a roadbike, a road shoe, with its road cleats ..u will be complaining and cursing in no time, for the kind of ride u are now.
Walking around with a dedicated roadie shoe isn't exactly fun or comfortable.

ah ok. i believe fixie with freewheels are call single speed, fixie is fixed hub when stop pedaling will brake automatically. have fun shoe hunting haha, start tomorrow all bike shops closing, can only buy online but cant go to to shop for testing.

i have a friend complaint that carbon bars gave him more road vibrations than stock alloy
