sorted thanks.

I can't find this info searching online.

What's the distance between:

a) the two lower holes, and
b) the vertical distance between a line drawn between the lower holes and the upper hole

Thanks if someone can help.

Re: SH51 Shimano Cleats: Service Life.

£15!?

When you say 'pedals wear' are you talking about the bearings or the SPD mechanism? If the latter, would you expect this to wear before the cleats - in the case of a Shimano M520 SPD pedal?

SH51 Shimano Cleats: Service Life.

I'm new to clipless and would like to know roughly how long standard Shimano SH51 cleats tend to last.

Usage: I'll be wearing them daily for a number of months on tour. The shoes are cleat recessed, so they shouldn't wear out with walking (should they?).

What do you guys reckon: a couple of months, a year?

Thanks. :D

Re: Ferry: France-Morocco

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I managed to find some more timetables online (euromer.net) which suggest that ferries are running and bicycles go free. I hope so!

I'll probably just cycle down there and see what happens. I'll try and report back if I can.

Ferry: France-Morocco

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone's had experience with the ferry service from Sete (France) over to Morocco.

I know I can buy tickets in advance from Southern Ferries (UK) but ideally I'd like the flexibility of buying it once I arrive at the port in Sete. Has anyone done this?

I've discovered some timetables and prices online but I'm not sure how current/correct they are. Did you have to pay to take a bike?

Thanks for any help.

It's exciting to think an exotic cyling destination is [hopefully] just a ride through France away!
