I use these on my road bike. I ride through town to get to the bike trails. These allow me to ride unclipped as I navigate through stop signs and lights and traffic. I have around 500 miles on these and they have held up fine. Easy to adjust.
I use these on my cyclocross bike so I can clip in for some serious riding or just hop on it in street shoes for a quick trip in the neighborhood. I find the SPD side to be reliable and easy to clip into and the platform side offers a solid surface to use for regular shoes. I also installed them on my trainer so I can jump on it when I have to stay indoors.
I've tried quite a few different brands and models of this style pedals, which are my favorite for commuting and touring bikes. Some of them broke within a couple years, but I've had a set of these A530's going on 6 years now on my main commuter and they're still good as new. Picked up another set for a newer bike, and quality seems just as excellent as the old ones.
Installed these on a bike to have a choice of clipping in or using regular shoes. This works great. Treads on the pedals surface do not allow shoes to slide, something I thought would be an issue, and the pedal is slightly longer and narrower than stock making it more comfortable to stand on. Overall, good design and quality. Pedals will probably outlast the bike and I have no regrets.
I bought these pedals for a bike I use around town and on trails. Great for casual riding with street shoes, and more technical clipless trail riding. They are easy to flip, and fairly lightweight. Im not sure about durability as Ive only logged a few hundred miles on this bike. Im pleased with my choice so far.
This is a great double sided pedal for urban use. Especially when you just want to jump on your bike in your street shoes and go for a quick ride.
The pedals look great and work great. Love the flexibility of not having to use my clipless shoes when touring
Needed pedals for a touring commuter bike. Previously I've run the PD-M324 but these are little less aggressive but still grip well on the non-clip-in side Happy with the purchase.
I put these on my daughter's bike. She typically rides clipless in the summer and platforms in the winter with studded tires on our icy roads and trails, or occasionally platforms with casual shoes. These save me a few minutes of pedal changeover a few times per year. I originally bought them for my commute bike, and I'll probably order a second set soon.
Standard SPD reliability on one side, grippy, svelte platform for walking shoes on the other. If you need pedals that can do it all, look no further.
Nice pedals but I have nothing to compare to since these are my first pair of clip-ons I like that you can still use regular shoes on the other side it's helpful when you're trying to clip in after you stop and get going you can pedal on the opposite side
These are great pedals that also allow for a quick ride with normal shoes. Clipping in/out is super easy!
Good all around pedal for non-bike shoes or spd's.
I purchased these for winter riding, the platform side is slippery, especially when wet, and you will be toe flipping to find the side you want. Crank Brothers cleat system is superior but their design is not compatible with a dual use pedal. No grade inflation here - a solid C. Needs design refinement but this is a small market niche so it probably won't happen.
I am a triathlete who MTB for overall bike handling skills and cross training. I put a pair of these on my Felt nine60. These provide you with great versatility and solid Shimano mid level performance. SPD's cleats stay on and tight but snap out sharply as needed. Good & reliable, not the lightest set of pedals out there but I was not looking nor needing that. Well constructed and seem pretty tough.
The regular shoe side is sufficient for aggressive pedaling or just cruising round with friends or family. Very convenient.
I have MTB raced and just plained cruised with my kids and never had to worry about what shoes I was wearing.
They also come in black, which is the color I chose purely for aesthetics.
This is my first use of clipless pedals. Easy to clip into and release. Flipping the pedal over for the clip or platform side is easy. No problems whether you're wearing bike shoes or sneakers. And the pedal is light weight too.
Nice size non-cleat side. bigger than some other multi-purpose pedals.
Complaint: cost!
Installed these on a new NordicTrack S22i for off-season training. I clip-in woth SPDs but my wife doesn't. Perfect solution.
These pedals are extremely good quality. They have excellent grip on the non clip side and clip in and out with easy on the other side.
Nice set of pedals for some indoor cycling shoes i already have.
