I'm alive, back in the Bay Area, although down in PA/MP, and hella out of shape after > 5 yrs of exile on the east coast and becoming a healthcare provider (little free itme and ability to ride), tho trying to get back into it, albeit very slowly :)Of course I'm consulting my favorite group for recs.1) I started out on spd pedals when I first started riding and switched to look road pedals when I got my upgrade bike (which is my current bike) in 2011. I freaking HATE the single-sided entry and I have decided to go back to spd. I know speed play is two sided but it's spd or bust. There are currently four shimano spd pedals under consideration- 520 (what I used to have), 540, xt-8100, and xtr-9100. Since I only get pedals once a decade, I'm willing to spring for the expensive ones if they are really better and worth it. What are your opinions? Of note, remember I will exclusively use these on the road... all the reviews online are naturally MTB oriented. Supposedly the more expensive ones are wider platform, but not sure if it is enough to make a difference? Also some of them come with different spindle length options. No clue about that... what are the considerations in spindly length?
2) I have a garmin edge 520 that was incredibly and generously given to me by Peter and Christine Colign back before I left for school, and the speed/cadence sensor I have has been FUBAR for awhile. I tried changing the battery, but no bueno. I think I just can't resuscitate it. Anyone happen to have a functioning one that would work with the 520 that they want to offload for cheap? Or any idea which one I should get if I get some newfangled thing?
Would love to see you guys down on the peninsula once the current surge passes and I'm more in the swing of riding!mille mercis.
