As you can tell by the lovely image seen here, the 2006 Speeder has an all-new upper design. While the most important development here is the three strap, center reversed, closure system (with laces), die hard fans of all colors "muted" will contend that it is actually the color scheme.

Purchased At:
Blue Sky Cycling
Strengths:
Price, especially when combined with Crank Brothers pedals. Great first clipless cycling shoe!
Weaknesses:
After about 6 months of use, the outsole started to separate from the rest of the shoe. Sections of rubber were falling off, so I pulled them totally off and kept using the shoes.

Bike Setup:
05 Jamis Dakar Sport Custom Build
Bottom Line:
These shoes fit well and for the price, served me very well. I have raced XC for about 2 years now with them and though they do show the miles, they are still going to be my rain/mud shoes in the future. Pick these up with some Crank Brothers pedals and you have the perfect entry level clipless setup.
