Are these shoes good for a road bike and what peddles are best suited for a road bike

Yeah, but they are more made for the trail which I know they are great for, climbing up hills in when you get off the bike. On the road though, I feel like a road bike shoe would work better as there is no extra spiky tread that makes it harder to walk when you get off the bike on the road. They're quality though. As for pedals, look up Shimano clipless pedals and you can get a nice set for under 70 bucks. All Shimano pedals I've used are awesome.

After about 1year and 1300 miles they have been great. They are good to walk around when you are not on the bike I have shimano combo pedals spd on one side and regular on the other I think they are A530 or similar.

"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

Yes, mine are installed on a road bike but they could be installed on either.

I remember I purchased cleats at local bike shop separately. Please buy the shoes at amazon and buy cleats at local shop and ask them to install them on the shoes.

Yes a 52cm bike would likely be a nice fit for you. You could always head to your local bike shop and have them measure you and advise you on the perfect size road bike for you.

Yes. The difference between mountain and road pedals is in the shoes they are compatible with, not the bikes. Pedals are standard across all bike types.

They can be used on any bike. I've hear do people using them on MTB and road.

I recommend another peddle which is better for regular shoes and bike shoes: Shimano PDT400 Clickr Pedal. I have had both and have fallen many times with the PD-M540 but none with the PDT400. The PDT400 also has a plastic platform around it to support regular shoes. The two have a similar design but the PDT400 is a later model and is easier to get in to and out of.

You can only get a more customized bike at a bike store. But The 22.5" is made for riders 5'9 to 6'1. Should be good for you. Road bikes are generally measure from the floor to the crotch area. That's how they determine proper height. Have fun

I am 5' 6" and using them on a size 19in. comfort touring bike. They should be fine on your road bike, and they are adjustable for, and aft. So, I think you should be all set.

Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend. I STRONGLY recommend visiting a bike shop to try on shoes and find some that feel good! Otherwise, your bike rides will be short and uncomfortable. I personally LOVE these pedals, and I bought the Giro Trans Road shoes http://www.giro.com/us_en/trans-17797.html after trying on about 5 or 6 different pairs. I ride for fitness and fun (speed) and found that a road shoe with a very stiff sole and adjustable foot bed works best for me, but not everyone is the same. I ride a Trek 2.1 Triple with all Shimano 105 components. Any shoe compatible with the SPD cleat, really depends on how much you wish to spend.

It depends in your pedals. The cleats that come with these shoes are the standard 2 bolt SPD cleats. Many trainers use this type.

well I have two high bread street/off road Diamond back adult frames and they fit just fine. just adjust the pedals and bars to slide into each other and your off.

These should use Keo cleats. Your local bike shop should have them. If you bring them the bike (or your old cleats), you can be sure to get the correct model. On line .... good luck. It's not worth the very small savings unless you live far from a shop.

Yes - Read a good review of these shoes at http://www.competitivecyclist.com/shimano-sh-r088-shoe-mens.

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.
