what kind of difference (in feeling) is there between those single gates vs the double gates for cages? is one recomended for certain use vs another?
Doubles just keep your feet in the cages more effectively and spreads the pressure on the top of your foot. Some people find that singles just dig into their feet.
Downside is some people have a harder time getting their feet out, which could be a problem in critical moment.
I would suggest trying both out and seeing which works best for you. I personally prefer clipless shoes and pedals, but those have their own pros and cons.
