"Only one way to find out. Do a Strava run in the Maddux set and then do a run in the Mavics to compare. Id have to say the Kysium's would have the slight advantage even if its placebo."

"I also use both, with the SPD on my flat bar commuter, and have used the predecessor  to Keo, the Look Delta since its inception, on all my road bikes - - they feel much more positive clipping in and out than the SPDs.  "

"I have used both types.  The mountain bike pedals have an advantage in utility, in that the cleat can be recessed so that you can walk more comfortably in the shoes when you are off the bike. However in terms of translating the power of your…"

Pete (repeats ?) Roberts replied to Matt W's discussion trainers or rollers
"I use both and they are both good: If you go for rollers, look for a set that will allow the rollers to shift forward and aft, as this will allow you to really get the 'true road' experience. ( with out the moving  rollers, you need…"

I think you should be around 5ft 9in because I am 6ft and I am too tall for that frame size

Matt, which is 56.5cm.  There are different web sites that give you an idea of how to measure your inside leg and determine a frame size though!

Cheers

Trevor
