ProsThese pedels are like butter. Great Shimano product and a price you can't beat.
ConsNone.
VerdictUnless you are a complete racer, I would recommend these to anyone who wants a tough pedel that will always work.

VerdictI did a lot of reading before getting my first set of clipless, and these by far got the best reviews on most mtb sites.

ProsShimano quality
ConsCould be a little better in a mud situation, although light years ahead of the old 747`s I started out with.
VerdictThis pedal is a workhorse, you don`t get the "bling" factor with them, but who cares.

VerdictI would recommend these pedals to anyone who is learning the clipless way. When they are set to their minimum setting exiting the pedal is a breeze.

ProsGreat price; easy to clip/un-clip; easy to tight/untight

ProsCheap, easy adjustment, tension control, tough
ConsNone
VerdictThese were the first set of clipless pedals I'd bought and I love them. They are easy to get in and out of and they stay clean very well. Great for first time clipless users. One of the best upgrades to my bike so far! I recommend them to anyone who's looking to go clipless.

ProsPrice, ease of use, works as designed, reliable, bullet-proof
ConsThey look low-end
VerdictThe were the second set of SPD pedals I bought, and now they are on their 3rd bike. They are durable, reliable, and adjustable. They shed mud well and are easy to clean. I've never had a clip-in or -out problem with these pedals. The perfect pedal for beginners or experienced riders on a budget. The SPD design is still one of the best and simplest to use.

| KenfromCali  | Summerville, SC | April 10, 2007
ProsIt's a no-frills pedal that performs as advertised. The adjustments were easy to make for the right hold. The price was right too.
ConsI wasn't able to comfortably ride to the local trail without clipping in.
VerdictTHis is a great pedal if you want to give a clipless pedal a try. They are durable and easily adjustable. They will not break the bank for the first set either. I know it's a biking feaux pas to not like clipless pedals, but I don't.
