Bulletproof, great bang for the buck

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

THESE PEDALS ARE WONDERFUL!

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good solid quality product. Easy install.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great product at a great price and fast shipping.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great pedal for the price

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

They spin!

I bought these to save my Garmin power pedals from indoor training where I have power through the smart trainer. I enjoy the dual sided SPD and am considering converting my Vector 3's (Look) to Rally XC bodies (SPD) for the future. Paired these with a pair of fizik shoes. Very happy with the results.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great pedal

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

The inexpensive gold standard.

The pedals are like an old tractor. You know exactly what you're getting when you buy these. They take a lot of abusive and keep trucking along. Never disappointing.

Solid Product. I would and have recommended this product for others.

I've tried multiple clip in pedals. Some of which were way more expensive.

These pedals come in at the right price accompanied by perfect functionality.

Thank you for your feedback.

No problems, They clog up with heavy blabk dirt but that is expected.

I use these five times a week for 15 to 20 mile single track trail rides and my shoes stay on with no problems.

Great and easy to use

These are my first fixed pedals and I was nervous about trying them out. They are so simple to fix and use. I'm really happy with them, perfect for a road bike as you do get a slight bit of movement with them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Nothing flashy, but very durable.

Just your basic clipless SPD pedal. Nothing flashy, but very durable. Using these has made my commute and errand running a lot easier and more fun. Easy to clip in, easy to adjust, easy to swing out of. I'd recommend these for anyone looking for their first set of clipless pedals.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Bang for the Buck!

Put two pair on our tandem. My wife had never used clipless pedals, no problem. Super pedal for the price, work great, easy to clip in, should last a long time, but not the lightest.

Great pedals, great price

SPD style pedals with quick adjustment, came set on the high side but a quarter turn fixed that.
