 best bang for the buck Jul 23, 2010
By Matthew
I'll start off by stating that I am new to clipless pedals. I put these on my new road bike and have to say I am very impressed. When I got the bike I must have clipped in and out 100 times before I even ventured out with them and the payoff has been well worth it. Clipping in and out is a cinch. I like the SPD pedal as it had a relatively large area to clip in. Another interesting finding that these pedals weigh in at 330 grams. The Shimano Dura Ace SPD pedals that run near $300 weigh 278 grams. That is a 52 gram difference for almost $250 more money. That is 1.84 OUNCES. I am riding a $1700 bike not a $6000 bike so I can deal with an extra 1.84 ounces weight on my bike. I know it is not only about the weight but you get my point. That is why I think these pedals are the best bang for the buck as they are relatively inexpensive for what you get.

Why would you need anything more expensive?? Aug 27, 2009
By C. Rollins
I had been off of the bike for almost this entire millenia. 20 years ago, when I was riding fairly seriously, I always thought about upgrading to some clipless pedals, but I just never did. Upon a recommendation from my local bike shop, I placed these on my 1986 Raleigh Grand Prix, added some new Specialized Sport Road shoes, and away I am going. The pedals hold my feet in very nicely, allowing a little bit of play as I'd like, and I did not have to mess with the tension adjustment - I was able to unclip with the normal rotation of the foot. Why anyone would pay so much more for other types of pedals is beyond me. Yes, they are pretty large, so they may add an extra microgram to your total weight, but seriously folks, us common riders can't possibly tell!

 Nice pedal Jul 23, 2008
By Thomas Lyon
"cycle junkie"
For the money, I don't think you can do better. Easy in, easy out, really no trouble and just enough float. I like these and the look style is the easiest to learn for those new to clipless. Don't be scared. If you're ready for the switch to clipless this is a good pedal. You won't believe the difference in speed and power from your clips.

Good pedals. Good Price Mar 22, 2011
By F. Moreau
I started cycling just a little over two years ago and over time I have progressed from platform pedals, to toe clips, and now to clip in pedals. I can say right from the start that I really like the feeling of being connected to the pedals on the upstroke and being able to power most of the way through the cycle. I could really hear the difference when I first put the pedals on the bike I use in my magnetic trainer. No matter how hard I tried to be smooth with platform pedals there was a definite pulsing in my pedal stroke. That seems to be greatly diminished with the use of these pedals telling me my pedal stroke is much smoother.
Having gotten used to these pedals while on a trainer and having used toe clips, I haven't had the misfortune of the sideways fall from forgetting to unclip.... yet, but in a sudden situation I can see it happening. In real life application they are very good and keep you feeling connected to the bike.
The only fault I could find with these pedals is their balance. When you unclip a foot to stop at a stop sign or traffic light the pedal takes an almost vertical nose up position making it a bit difficult to clip back in. The clips have no grip of their own so if you misalign them you have hard plastic shoe clip on the metal pedal surface and the strong likelihood that your foot will slip off trying to get started before you can get clipped in. If you are going to use these anyplace where you may have to frequently unclip it may be a good idea to pay a few extra dollars for pedals that balance level. Or maybe learn to do a strong one pedal acceleration and then clip in.

Solid Jul 08, 2010
By Bluez434
Just started riding more seriously and they work well. Like that you can use it with out clip-ins on casual days (flip-flops are great)
