Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by element22   on May 7, 2009   Pros Flawless clip in and out. Smooth spinning pedal with wide platform Cons Plastic cage. A bit pricy Verdict Overall i would recommend these pedals to one who can't decide between platforms or clipless. But I must say I enjoy the size of these and have had more success with them when riding slow and using body english going over logs and skinnies compared to my previous M-540's pedals from Shimano reviewed by raleighman91   on August 21, 2007   Pros stable for extreme or rough riding Cons heavy dont wanna bash them on the sides they break Verdict great fora begining rider reviewed by GreenGiant   on August 21, 2007   Pros Lightweight is all you get with these Cons Plastic platform will not take abuse Verdict If you want platform clipless, get the Shimano M545. Buddy of mine has these and after alot of technical riding the plastic platform will fall apart on you. POS. If you don't plan on technical riding but want a platform with clipless then this is the pedal for you. reviewed by aabiking   on August 21, 2007   Pros I like the adjustable clip pressure, the base is a very rugged polymer and has withstood a lot of abuse from rocks and it gives you the ability to pedal when not clipped in like you have flats. Cons When you just want to ride your bike to the store or through the campground with a pair of sandles, tennis shoes, or any flat bottom shoe the clips stick up to far and make it real annoying. I wish they could be flush with the pedal base. Verdict I would recomend this pedal to anyone that feels they need to have a flat at technical times especially taking off from a standstill on a steep climb.
