ShimanoPD-M520 SPD Pedals(Return to Product Page)

It was easy for me to adjust and learn how to use my first clip in type pedals. They seem indestructible.

For a bottom of the barrel pedal in this range, they sure do work great. Yeah they might be a few grams heavier than their more expensive counterparts, but when your CX bike is covered in mud, grams don't matter anymore. Clip in and out each time, no binding, no issues. Adjustable tension too!

These are my first clipless pedals for my mountain bike. They work great on the rail trails I ride most of the time. I have been using clipless on my road bike for years. It's great to be using clipless on both road and gravel.

These pedals are a great value. I have them on all my bikes.

I bought this as an entry level clipless pedal, and felt the value was good. After riding it around the block a few times, I really liked it. However, when I rode it to work, my toes would go numb. I tried adjusting cleat position and seat height to no avail. This could because of my casual cycling shoes (Shimano CT5) I was using did not have a stiff enough bottom, rather than the pedal's fault, but needless to say, I stopped using both of them.

My only complaint about this product is that it's impossible to return because the clips and pedals will never be like new after first use. I would have returned them, but it's honestly just the nature of the product. You can't return it.

Super basic, super indestructible, super heavy. If you need a simple SPD pedal that will last you possibly forever, this is the product for you.

Started riding gravel road bike to get away from automobiles!

First time clipless rider following many decades of toe clips . Easy to install. East to adjust tension of release mechanism. Apprehension abated.

I own three sets of these, on all my bikes. Very affordable, excellent product. I have never had a problem out of any sets.

Identical clipless mechanism to the more expensive pedals. Unless you want a larger platform or care about grams, save your money and by this.

the pedals work great, and are super affordable. Probably will last a lifetime too because Shimano.

Excellent value and great performance. Bought these for my wife as her first clip pedals. They work great and are very easy to use. Seem rugged and dependable.

25 Years with these Shimano SPD Style Pedals. They've never caused issues, good float. Used mainly on my road bikes.

I put these pedals on my touring road bike and expect to do about a 1500 miles this summer with tours and training. they'll be great!

I've not used this type pedal before but I really love them. I'm use to the Look type pedal. These SPD's are very easy to clip in and out of, light weight, and float is keen. Highly recommend these.

I just don't know, why I didn't order this sooner. It looks good and does his purpose. I ride more than 3,000 miles a year, so I need something in good quality and since all my other accessories are from Shimano, this completes my bike.

Shimano Pedal Dynamics (SPD) are the pedals I used when I went clipless 15 years ago. I wore out 3 set of SPD's, never found a rebuild kit. 10 years ago I switched to Crank Bros Eggbeaters and Candy, for which I have rebuild kits ($10) and rebuilt 1 set. Cleats wear out before the pedal bearings. I remember a few episodes of SPD's jamming on engagement/disengagement. Scary when the pedal won't let go of your foot. Crank Bros are rebuild-able and smoother engage/disengage.

I like that I can release my foot easier than the Look brand I have been using for the last 3 years. Heavier but adjustable also.

Haven't ridden enough (yet) but so far I like them better than my old Look style pedals. Much easier to get out of.

These pedals are working great! I did have to adjust the tension several times to get into and out of them safely. I am not sure why someone would spend 10 times the amount for a pedal that weighs a few grams less. They spin fine, don't make noise, hold securely. I am happy with the purchase. Maybe those expensive pedals are awesome, but these are well worth the money I paid. No complaints.
