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.
Haven't ridden enough (yet) but so far I like them better than my old Look style pedals. Much easier to get out of.
I use my Shimano PD-M520 Pedals on my commuter bike to and from work. They work just fine. They are good quality. I prefer the SPD Pedals because I don't have to look down to clip in like I do with SPD-SL pedals.
These are my first pair of pedal that I clip into. They certainly help out on long rides and increased my overall speed. I ride the paved river trails in Orange and Los Angeles Counties and these are working well for me.
Good clipless pedal, excellent for the price. Tension was fine out of the box. Works as you would expect. Recreational rider, Specialized hard tail, mostly singletrack & fire road.
25 Years with these Shimano SPD Style Pedals. They've never caused issues, good float. Used mainly on my road bikes.
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.
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.
These pedals are a great value. I have them on all my bikes.
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.
Nice price for a nice pedal. Particularly like the option of using the bolt for installation instead of only
the hex option through the stem.
Hands down for the price of these pedals are the best they last a long time. Our famliy of bikes all have them. (Ten bikes and counting)
For an inexpensive pedal, these are a great value.
Identical clipless mechanism to the more expensive pedals. Unless you want a larger platform or care about grams, save your money and by this.
Easy and simple, couldn't ask for more.
Pedals arrived on time and were exactly as expected.
Look fantastic on my black with white accents bmc granfondo gf02
I am a road biker and after moving to Montana winter can be a bitch for a road biker. I have a hybrid that had clip pedals installed. I never liked the feel so I bought a new pair of mtn bike shoes and SPD pedals to take advantage of the inset design of these shoes... OMG I still can't get over the comfort of these pedals. I can get off the bike and walk like a human not like a newly shoed horse like with Look and Speedplay pedals. Don't get me wrong those pedals have their purpose but for commuting or biking back roads of anywhere these are the way to go. I wasn't worried about saving every gram of weight and so far these pedals have performed right out of the box. The pedals are adjustable and I may fine tune the release if I get around to it but then again, maybe not. Great product as would be expected and the cost to value is tops. I have ridden the MS 150 a few times and will be wearing these for sure.
use these on my gravel grinder...a tad heavier than the higher models but the extra weight only make you stronger
These are solid, basic SPD pedals that are perfect on my gravel bike.
