   Wonderful and comfortable
   First time user of petal with clip in and these are amazing. I love them and use them daily. Worth the price

   Bang for Buck!
   Pretty light, works wonderfully and feels sturdy. I’m 6’1″ at 200lbs. I installed these onto a 2014 Felt F75. Did about 60+miles on them and they are holding strong so far. I purchased a pair of Giro 2013 Mens Treble Road Bike Shoes to go with these pedals. Easy to snap in and out, not much effort required.EDIT: As of August/September 2015. I noticed that the main pin keeps popping out (see picture), this is very dangerous when going about 40mph. I tried to push pin in but it’s very difficult to get it in 100%. It pops out slowly, a little at a time. I kind of question the quality of this pedal but it has been on about 1k miles and two fall downs (wind and my own mishap). I’d say it’s worth its price and I will replace this with another set just because I want to be on the safe side. Does warranty cover this?

   Great pedals
   Have always used Spd pedals for mountain biking, these are my first Spd-sl shoes and they give the same satisfying feel as the mtb ones and they seem to be perfectly reliable so far

   Best foot forward!
   These are my first set of cleats and pedals. With that said, I feel like they work well. I have them paired with the SH-RO65L cycling shoes and they are skiing the job. Installation was a breeze as they were on within five minutes. I have them on my bike in the trainer since the weather is getting bad. It’s giving me time to get used to them with the clipping in and out. The difference is noticeable between the regular pedals and these pedals. I think my performance will definitely improve thanks to these pedals and shoes in terms of keeping contact with my foot and the pedal constant. They came with cleats and those went onto the shoes with no problem. They seem well constructed and sturdy for what I’m using them for. Looking forward to seeing how the do on the road.

   Good choice for a mid-priced pedal.
   Very easy to click into, not so easy to click out of. Install with a pedal wrench or a hex wrench. Sometimes with a smaller cleat/pedal combo adjustment can be difficult, but with these I was able to find the sweetspot for both pedals.

   Will take a beating.
   2nd pair purchased (for trainer). Very rugged and stable platform. Great price.

   Fantastic Upgrade — great for wide feet
   These replaced an earlier low-end, steel-body spd-sl pedal from 2007. The design has improved tremendously. The two big improvements are (a) the platform is wider and (b) it’s easier to feel which side you’re engaging in. Thanks to these improvements, these pedals are much easier to use. The wider platform is much more comfortable and supportive than other designs.These are well worth the upgrade. If you’re new to road pedals, these will be easy to get used to.FWIW, I’m a larger rider, 6′, ~190lbs with size-12 shoes. These work great.

   Great pedals for my first road bike
   These are great – my first clip pedals. Love the connected feel and the adjustability of the included cleats. The great guys at Sun & Ski Dallas gave me the custom fit.

    Excelentes pedales, para todos los niveles. Para todos aquellos que desean un gran rendimiento por su precio, sin importar el peso. El tema del peso en el ciclismo es algo determinante pero si solo practicas este deporte de manera recreativa o piensas en competir pero con bajo presupuesto, estos pedales valen la pena 100%. En el mundo de la competición cada gramo cuenta y cada vatio ahorrado determina el resultado de una carrera es por eso que estos pedales por su precio se enfocan en aficionados al ciclismo y principiantes.

    Shimano entry level SPD SL pedals. Do the job for the training bike with really good (and simple) adjustment for hold tension. Super easy to maintain (buy the axle removal tool).
