 Great pedal for a serious commuter Sep 12, 2009
By R. Mclean
"rosco"
I ride 15 miles each way to work in Chicago almost daily on a fast commuter bike. I finally broke down and bought these clip pedals after riding on regular flat pedals without cages or clips for a few years.
The good:
Being clipped in makes a BIG difference. More power, feels great.
You can get out of these really easily. I haven't fallen over or had any major scares. The tension was set right already when the pedals arrived.
The versatility of being able to ride either clipped or clipless is great. I rarely ride without being clipped in anymore, but when I need to, it's great to be able to do so comfortably.
The not so good:
A very few times, I've grounded out these pedals while riding fast around a hard corner while pedaling. They do have a little less clearance than a pure clip pedal. Not like it's a huge common problem, but it's happened a few times. Only happens when I'm really pushing hard. Now that I'm used to it, I can easily avoid. But if I was a super-serious rider, this could be a problem.

 Works great! Matches with LX. Made to Last. Jul 30, 2009
By Daniel Haden
They're not as light as the cheaper pedals of this type; however, the spd attachment is top quality and doesn't break.
The outer area of the pedal is a very strong steel. The pedal's alloy core is colored exactly like the LX group, and as that is a trekking / touring group with the strongest materials and this is a trekking / touring pedal that has the same coloring and theme, then I believe that these are LX trekking pedals. As such, that means they work perfectly, all the time, and they're designed to last at least as long as a bike or two.
Worthy of note is that these are a bit easier to access the platform side, albeit the methodology isn't typical. Instead of flipping it or "scuffing" with your toe, you can just pedal "around" and set your foot right down on it when it's up. This is a bit faster than typical, so its possibly less distracting in city traffic. Also, the SPD attachment is quite strong, so if you happen to mash down with a sneaker, there won't be any damage to the pedal. This is the only "combo pedal" that I've been able to flip while going up a steep hill.
As for the weight, this might be the one SPD pedal that makes your knees feel better instead of worse. The somewhat extra weight adds a beneficial flywheel effect to the pedals which can make it easier to spin a faster cadence. That's quite good for training yourself to do well. It also matches up with the intent of the trekking / touring group in facilitating an easier, lasting, approach to a long distance ride.

intermediate pedal Nov 03, 2006
By Larry Kwate
If you're like me, and don't just ride your bike on dirt trails, but take your chances in the concrete jungle, you need a pedal like this one. Everyone who rides in the city knows, that you don't always get to pick and choose where and when you're going to stop. Cars pull out in front of you. Doors open etc. That sickening feeling you get, when you come to an abrupt stop, feet locked into clips, and the lovely helpless fall to the ground as you try to twist your feet out in a split second. Sure, some of us have amazing reflexes, and can get out of any predicament, but mere mortals rely on a pedal with reversable surfaces. That's the compromise with this pedal. It's more difficult to clip in, but helps reduce those ugly falls on pavement.

 Versatile pedal, not perfect. Oct 21, 2008
By G. Tillinghast
This is a great entry level pedal for those who want the efficiency of SPD with the convenience of a platform. There are two flaws worth noting though: 1) they are much heavier than any other pedal I've used (not as much of an issue for mtb though) and 2) it is somewhat annoying to have to consciously flip the pedal with your toe before clipping in (unlike a normal SPD with symmetric sides). Overall, a great quality product.

Perfect for touring/hybrid bike Aug 17, 2009
By P. Hoffman
"Pete"
I use these on my Trek 7000, they are great for hybrids and mountain bikes. They are pretty simple to get in and out of, and are perfect if you want a set of pedals that you can flip over when you don't want to go all out with the cycling shoes (casual rides to the grocery store and what not).
I've had mine for a month, they were ready to go straight out of the box.
If you want some casual clipless pedals that will make your work-out riding a bit more effective, these are what you're looking for.
