If I am going to use these for SPD pedals do I need a converter or should I just buy the SPD bike cleats?

If you have a spd pedals & cleats you don't need a converter because it fits on 3 & 2 bolt pattern. Hope this would answer your question.

Honestly, i bought them. The size didnt match. Im always 41, but these were too small, and didnt have time to send it back to return. So they are in the closet still in the box. Im not professional in bycicles, and not sure what is SPD pedals. Sorry:)

Standard. Mountain bike cleats will work.... However, my advice would be to spend more on better quality brand name pedals. These are roughly made and a good cleat will work just as well in the mud as when it's new.... These are not great quality.

Yes they are. When I had these pedals I used the SH56's and my mrs still uses both. If you want better pedals try the Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedals. I have had two pairs of the XLC Alloy MTB/Trekking Pedals and one broke within two weeks. See the mixed reviews Before you buy.

don't know. pedals usually go by size of plug in. They come in 2 sizes- large and small. Check out your keyboard,

It might be better to use one of shimanos models with a platform/sdp combo... If you don't get a good engagement on these there isn't much to pedal with.

They bolted onto my cheap factory pedals on my Trek just fine. The pedals, however, do need to be designed to use toe clips. You need two bolt holes in the front and a slot in the middle of the sides for the strap to go through. If your pedals came on a road bike, they are probably good to go. Any other style of bike, you'll more than likely have to buy a set of pedals.

If you want to use the cleat side of the pedal you would need to buy the spin shoes with cleats. Otherwise, you use the other side of the pedal with straps. You will definitely love spinning way more once you try the cleats!! Well worth it.

I don't believe they will work on your pedals. My pedals have two openings and they work great.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

"Normal shoes" as in street shoes/tennis shoes/running shoes etc? No, not really a good idea, and I personally would really have to say "No." these are "clip in" style pedals that are for bike shoes with road cleats (specifically SPD-SL road cleats)... if you want to ride with "normal shoes" you really should use a pedal with toe clips such as the Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle

No they are not very good platform pedals. The bearings on these pedals only lasted a few weeks, I suggest you buy something else.

No, You Need SPD-SL cleats for these, Road Bike Cleats. MTB Cleats are SPD's. The "Float" is different on road cleats so be very caustious if you decide to switch from SPD's to SPD-SL. Hope this helps:)

No they will need a special shoe. The normal shoe is a lot wider then this pedal. If you are looking to just use normal sneakers some stores sell these clips that you shoe actuall fits in and that is what I had prior to these pedals. I will say that since I have converted to these, I wonder why I did not do this before, they make such a big difference.

Yes if you are installing a SPD MTB type cleat in the shoe. But the Click'r system is made to clip in and out easier so I don't understand why you would choose this shoe and not a Click'r specific pedal. Which would be a better option. These pedals are OK, but I would not buy them again.

I assume they are the SPD style of clip in pedals on this Schwinn. The pedals have the toe harness on one side and the clip in brackets on the other side. I just use the toe harness.

the pedals work great for my exercise bike. My bike is a different brand. I have a Schwinn AD2

Yes - the Shimano 105 SPD SL pedals come with the SM-SH11 Floating cleats. these are standard with the 105's. the floating cleats allow 6 degrees of side to side float. there are 2 other cleat options out there, the SM-SH10, and SM-SH12. The SM-SH10 cleats are "fixed" which means there is no lateral foot wiggle, and the SM-SH12 allows 2 degrees of float.
