We've added several clarifications to this, so all info should now be correct. In the next update we'll look to go into more depth about the differences in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

@OnYerBike Better than most, for including a little explainer of e-bikes. Though I don't actually agree with "strictly speaking [e-bike] refers to an EAPC" - if it did, we wouldn't need 'EAPC'. I also don't agree with "then there are electric dirt bikes from manufacturers such as Sur-Ron which look like mountain bikes". Erm, no, they don't, not least as they don't have pedals - they look much more like petrol-engined dirt bikes.

@mctrials23 Its only about 18 months since I stopped using the last pair of Shimano pedals that accepted Look Delta cleats, I'm not starting the mixed fleet issue again over a couple of mm of stack height. The reason I hung onto the deltas for so long is that I couldn't wear them out, no such luck with SPD-SL and I'm sure these new "even lighter" cleats will be worse.

@mdavidford It's already so bad, that I'm not sure I'd be able to recognise it as satire.

@Paul J Yep. I see absolutely zero reason to move to this system from SPD-SL and plenty of reasons not to. I mean, removing the ability to adjust the cleat position via the cleat is madness. Shimano are doing a cracking job of pissing away their market dominance in both the groupset and peripherals market at the moment.

I won’t buy a pedal system that lacks cleat adjustability – more money for less adjustability. At least for me, Shimano’s new pedals are worse than the original ones in this respect.

Is anybody else fighting intrusive thoughts of playing baseball with the head of a particular (now ex-?) driving instructor? Asking for a friend. Position statement: this is about how stories like this mess with my ^friend's head, not what my friend intends, or incites others, to do.

@jackcycles "Let’s be clear, anyone defending that collision is either trolling or a complete idiot." Or is both at the same time as proven by your very own comment.

@AidanR Uhh...yep. It never stopped, really.
