Hi, just got a Giant XTC SE:

I'm not sure about pedals though. I've been told the stock pedals are a bit pants and am looking at some new ones. I have a choice between flat ones and the slip ones. Are the ones that clip into shoes much better? I'm going to be mainly using the bike for road and a small bit of trail riding. Are the clip pedals suitable for off road? Can anyone recommend a decent set of pedals and maybe shoes at a budget of under £80? Or should I just go for a det of better flat pedals?

Thanks in advance :)

I would disagree, for road and trail riding spd style pedals are well worth the extra, i've used clipped pedals on and off-road and it made a massive difference for me in pedalling efficiency, I found them very easy to adapt to, although perhaps get a combined pair that offer a platform and the ability to clip in as well.

Are there any you could suggest? I really don't know what to look for.
