Like most of these fellas I ride Crank Bro. I’ve got the Smarty’s which just as previously stated are bottom of the barrel, cheapest Crank Bro pedals you can get but great pedals! For shoes I have some Specialized shoes which are great. Both pedals and shoes I have gotten on Ebay. There are several sellers on ebay that sell Smarty’s (as well as Candy’s and so on) that are great to buy from, and I’ve had no problem with them, or the pedals. Also check for some shoes on there, I got mine for pretty cheap, around 25 or 30 bucks, and they’ve held up great…you just gotta know how to find the right stuff.
