ProsThis is the epitome of a standard quality/standard price procuct. Nothing fancy or bling, just solid performance in most conditions. Long-lasting and trouble-free.
ConsHeavier than most clipless. Retains mud.
VerdictThese came with my first bike. When I bought my next bike, I upgraded. After going through a few pedals, all of which seemed to have some annoying idiosyncrasies, I eventually came back to these un-sexy, but dependable old standbys.

ProsTuff! Adjustable spring tension, Ease of use.
ConsNone.
VerdictI really like these pedals. I have mine on the minimum setting, so I can dab a foot if needed. This is the only clipless pedal I've used. No complaints here.

ProsEasy in, easy out...
ConsThey are difficult to clean, back in by the spring.
VerdictThey are a very hardy and reliable pedal. The platform is large enough to allow a rider to keep pedaling. even with a failed attempted clip-in.

ProsSimple design, rugged, great at shedding mud.
ConsA bit boring, especially compared to the Crank Bros stuff.
VerdictThese are solid pedals and they continue to hold up well after virtually zero maintenance over the past 3 years.
