Shimano pedals

Lightscribe

Hi there,

I have a road bike with Shimano PD 5610 pedals. I'm looking for a clip-in part that would allow me to use these pedals without having to wear cleats, ordinary runners instead.

I don't want to take off the pedals if I can avoid it and no I can't justify buying a new bike because of it cos I know from being a long-time lurker here that somebody will suggest that within the first 2-4 answers lol.
Thanks a million.

i've seen these for SPDs, but not for SPD-SL; not that that means they don't exist though.

Any idea what they're called even? I'm drawing a blank when it comes to search terms, every Google result is for pedals and not what I'm looking for, obviously.

I think these are what you are looking for, loads of them around. Cheap chinese ones from AliExpress if you can search "MTB Mountain Bicycle Clipless Pedal Platform Adapters For Universal Compatible SPD Bicycle Parts Aluminum Alloy".

Rose will be quicker and have trustworthy returns: https://www.rosebikes.com/pocket-pedals-clipless-to-flat-pedal-adapter-2689707

Amazon would be the final choice: https://www.amazon.co.uk/celtics-ShimaAno-SM-PD22-Clipless-Pedals/dp/B07CVKRNC4/ref=asc_df_B07CVKRNC4/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=205173967808&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16633408376531062936&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007848&hvtargid=pla-727564546536&psc=1

I could use a pair of them too. Have been using my road bike for the last month to commute as my commuter bike is laid up

Thanks lads, I didn't even know they were a thing

Do you mean that you wish to wear ordinary runners some of the time in addition to using cleats at other times?

....Or only wear runners all the time?

I have a pair quite similar to these.

I use them with Shimano SPD pedals, but they are compatible with your pedals, you have to supply the cleats.
There are lots very similar to these on eBay, some much cheaper.
I like mine, because they have the pins in them so my shoes don't slip on them, and because they're anodised red.
And the platforms are quite big, so they give support.
I paid about 15 euro for mine.

Interchangeable, hopefully santa is bringing a bike to one of the kids so I'd like to go with her without having to wear the cleats.

I can't believe nobody's suggested buying a new bike yet.

I've something very like this for Look keo.

One bit of advice.
Try to get them a bit wider if possible.
Mine are only just the width of the pedal

Nearly all runners are wider than bike shoes.
Hard to get the heels of your runner away from the frame

Thanks for that, I like the look of what Eamonnator suggested above, seem to be a wider platform

Yes they are, about 90mm X 90mm.
I've just looked at mine, they are identical to the one I posted earlier.
Here's another pair, much cheaper, from China. Delivery seems very slow.

If I was just cycling short distances with a child, I'd just use runners on the pedals without adapters. It's not as if you'll be out of the saddle sprinting/climbing.

Just to be clear, would I need to take the cleats off my cycling shoes to connect to the pedal and then click that on to the bike?

Eamonnator

Yes, or buy a new pair of cleats and use them on the platforms.
They dont make that clear on the ads, but the platforms do not ship with cleats.
You bolt the cleats to the platforms and then clip the platforms onto your pedals

Hope there's an easy way to pop them out when you need to use the cleat properly

You just twist the platform. When you get used to them you can do it with your foot. The pins keep your shoes solid enough, if you use trainers or Van's.

This is why I bought the double sided Shimano pedals, although the flat side of mine are a bit crap because they don't have pins like the newer versions!
