Shimano PDM520 Clipless SPD Bicycle Cycling Pedals BLACK "With Cleats"

Shimano have been making these for many years and I have them on all my (N+1) bikes, including a full carbon road bike, hybrid computing workhorse, small-wheel folder and Dawes Galaxy tourer. No exceptions. They work reliably well and have bearings that seem to go on forever (caveat: I don't ride much off-road). They're very easy to setup and adjust and very forgiving for beginners (I was one once and never came off because I couldn't unclip in time). Given the entry-level price I find these to be well engineered and great value for money. As long as Shimano keep making them I don't see myself riding anything else.

Can't go wrong with the M520s. Good value and do the job without fuss.

I had much trouble with clipping in to road cleats. Came of my bike several times and completely got rid of my confidence and i didn't want to ride anymore. So i went back to flats, but your feet move around and it gets annoying. Opted to give these a go because they are double sided and they remain in the horizontal position whereas the road cleats always fell into the vertical position. Clipping into these pedals is so intuitive, i picked it up near enough instantly and i haven't come off of my bike once. So really pleased to have switched onto MTB cleats, even if i am using them on a road bike.

These are my first venture into this type of SPD peddle and they are okay. There is quite a bit of float which can be annoying but they’re easy to clip in and out so that’s good enough. I may upgrade in the future.

Two sided cleats is what makes it super versatile, you can clip you shoe without looking. Before I had one sided pedals and it was a hassle to clip again after stopping at the traffic light.

Reliable as ever great pedals

My friend recommended these SPD style pedals for my first road bike vs the SPD-SL ones. He gave me an old unbranded set but they had seen better days so I bought these proper Shimano branded ones which came with matching cleats.Glad I did as they were much more positive when clipping in and out and I wound them down to the weakest setting which made them much more practical for a beginner like me.I am glad I went for this type as I now have a slightly different Shimano set on my hybrid and I much prefer mountain bike shoes over road bike shoes, they are just more practical to walk around in, and a bit more comfortable too.Great quality, work well, and not bad value either.

All you need in an spd pedal - very pleased and decent price
