SHIMANO EPDM520S Pedal

This is an excellent, affordable clip on pedal. Great for cyclists new to clip on pedals. Easy in and out. Better than my prior Wahoo Speedplays which were good, light. But also very expensive. These work well on mountain bike shoes and are MUCH easier for walking . Old design, but very reliable Shimano.

Attached these to my Pinarello Grevil. Easy clip in, easy out. These are half the price of the 540 or 8100 and are barely any heavier. The difference is in the screw spindle. Big deal. I'm happy with their performance and I often crank on these very hard when going through my hill repeats. You won't be disappointed.

Bought these for our new Zwift trainer bike. Install is straight forward, no issues, adjusted the tension and they just work.

I got these for my indoor spin bike. I was already using pedals tat were reversible from just claw to claw with SPD in the other side. But they would squeak on my shoes when I pedaled. So these new ones from Shimano are great quality, really easy to clip in and clip out and are silent when I am working out. They are priced great and I would recommend them!

Worked great. Click in and out much better than my previous pedals.

Years ago, I road-cycled with pre-clipless cleats on cycling shoes, and a strapped toe cage. I got T-boned by an elderly driver who actually hit me twice, because, after I got knocked down, I could not get unstrapped quickly. So, I was shy about moving to clipless.On my Retrospec Amok, I've been riding old "bear trap" style MTB pedals with a plastic half-toe-cage, and after about 5,000 miles they began clicking so, as they are sealed-bearing, it was time to replace and I decided to go to these Shimano SPD pedals, with a pair of Tommasan walkable (recessed clip) shoes, that look like running shoes, with the SH56 multi-directional-release clips.I elected for walkable shoes because almost all of my training rides include a stop for coffee, or to pick up milk at the grocery store, or to meet friends for breakfast ... and to spare my home's shiny terrazzo floors from contact with the metal cleat.I ran both sides of both pedals down to the lowest resistance setting and then added three clicks of resistance to start.Online advice is to practice getting into and out of both of these multiple times first. That is probably good advice, but I just put my left foot in and then released it to see how much effort was required. Then, I clipped back in and began riding.I find that it is quicker and easier get into and out of these pedals than it was to do the same thing with my previous MTB pedals with the half toe cage. No flipping the pedal to find the right side, and no wiggling to orient the toe. All you have to do is slide the front of the cleat into the pedal and then step down with your heel until the pedal clicks, indicating that it has engaged the cleat.I did have one unintentional release on my dominant side while pedaling hard into a corner, so added another click of resistance to all four adjusters after the ride. That was my only "con" in that first 20-mile ride. The "pros" included faster crank RPMs, higher speeds, a consistent one-gear step-up and the feeling that I am engaging a new muscle group (which is why I stopped at 20 miles -- I may be sore in the morning!). Getting off is a quick kickoff with the heels, one after the other, while coasting, Easy.I wish that I had gone to these years ago.

I wanted to switch from the Look type pedals to SPD because I find easier to use when training on my stationary bike. And the areas where I ride have many traffic lights. So, I bought these pedals to try them on my road bike. I have to say they are way easier to clip and same range of motion and support as the Look types.The only setback, and I knew it when selected this particular item is their weight. A bit heavier than KEO pedals. But now that I know I can use the SPDs for every day, I will buy some lighter ones in the future, is not a big issue, but keeps my Scott Addict light as it's design.

These pedals are put together very well. To adjust these to fit your style there is a screw next to the clip. It allows you to tighten the grip to your clips. It’s very easy to do. So far these pedals haven’t let me down. They are durable and as long as you adjust the tension and don’t forget to unclip your shoes you at a stop you will keep 2 down. Otherwise you will have both shoes clipped in and you will be horizontal on the ground, hopefully laughing.
