SHIMANO EPDM520S Pedal

Exceptional pedals. Installation was simple, just screw into the cranks of the bike, they fit with no issue. The SPD pedal was very easy to configure the ease of tightness I wanted my shoes to clip in or out. I started off very light and slowely tightened over time for a more comfortable and safe experience (its easier to get used to clipless pedals by having them loose at first). Durability wise these have stood the test of time and experience. I have these pedals on a gravel bike that has seen over 1000km across various terrains and these pedals are still in great condition and have minimal wear. I would purchase these again for any new bikes in the future.

This is the 3rd set of these PDM-520 pedals that I've bought from Shimano, also from Amazon. You go early can't fault them. They might.not be the most high tech ones, and there certainly are some fancy expensive ones these days, but they just work perfectly, so I can't fault them. This set has gone back on my road bike. They're a decent compact size and are easy to clip in, being double-sided. These screw in easily (one is left thread, the other right thread). Use an Allen Key to tighten them or a spanner to nip them up tight. These are a bargain for £25 at the time of review. I've recently been using a single sided set of pedals, but they've been annoying me if they aren't the right way round to clip in, making me take longer at lights, etc. With these double-sided ones, there's no messing about. I find that the tension is set up fine on arrival, however you can make them tighter or looser to suit. I now have them on all 3 of my bikes. A modern road bike, 80's racer and 2000's mountain bike. Definitely well recommended.

I recently broke my Brompton folding pedal, and it’s an expensive thing to replace. I had always considered SPDs for my Brompton but thought I’d miss the folding pedal too much. I have now used these daily for the last 2months (13miles per day) and they are brilliant. I have always bought Shimano kit but usually the expensive top end stuff for racing groupsets, but this buget end I am very impressed with. Yes it hasn’t got the high quality material finish that the Deore XT or XTR offer, but for the price and solid feeling the pedal provides I am so very impressed with the engineering. Living with the pedal every day has been a joy, the cleat connecting to the pedal is solid and gives a felling of confidence. I get the shoe in first time nearly every time, so as a London commuter off the lights first on my Brompton every time and back into my flow and spin very quickly. Allows you to focus so much more on your rotations and pace, I should have bought them years ago! As for the width casing issues when folded, well it does sticks out an additional 50mm to the original folding pedal when folded which could cause issues for some folk. Providing I always now consider the outward facing pedal when the bike is folded to be as low down as possible then it’s not an issue. It still fits in between train seats but I have to think a bit more when carrying it around in a folded state. Overall I am really pleased with this as a solution. The shoes I bought with to work with these pedals are the Muddyfox Tour200 (the waterproof ones) of all places Sports Direct in store (sorry Amazon) so I was able to try them on, always get at least 1 to 1.5 additional on size... very snug. Both things work great together, easy to setup and if you have used clipless pedals before they work as expected. For folk who haven’t tried SPDs before it might take a bit of time and practice, but well worth it from the efficiency and safety this will provide in the long run.

I really liked this product, and is one of the best things I've bought on here for a while. They feel robust, are easy to fit and adjust, and aren't too big. And having used them for a trip from Land's End to John O'Groats, I would definitely recommend them; they haven't worn at all, even after the 1000+ miles I've done in them. I've always ridden with them fully loose, and haven't found they come loose unexpectedly, but that they release as expected (a twist and pull motion). Though I am slight, and so can see why some people may want them tighter, and releasing then is also not too difficult - just requires a bit of a forceful push. Pro's: Good solid product, they feel robust and even after some heavy usage and falls, they haven't been marked or damaged at all. The ease at which they can be adjusted to fit the rider; the fitting is a small sized allen key, which most riders will have with them on rides. The size, they are quite small, around the size of a toy car; and being a mix of black and chrome, they look good too. Being double sided, they are quite easy to get the shoe fitting in. Con's: If I was being picky, they can be quite slippery, and so riding without cleated shoes is difficult. They are also not that light, and so for racing, you may want another pair.

Genuine quality Shimano pedals and SPD cleats. Easy to fit and adjust.

My pedals of choice. Great value and built like a tank. Not to heavy and double-sided. Really easy to clip into.

Excellent pedals and very hard to fault. I've been using these pedals on my bikes for 15 years. Best value bang for your buck pedals.

A great set of pedals. I bought them so I can use my mountain bike shoes on my road bike and these work a treat. The SPD cleats on my shoes clipped straight in just like my other SPD pedals. You can clip into either side of these pedals The tension on the release is easy to adjust - if you are new to clipless pedals and want to be sure you can get your feet off them quickly then put them on the loosest setting to start with. Note - you will need shoes that accept the SPD cleats - a set of cleats is provided with these pedals, but with the size of these pedals it would be difficult to ride without the correct shoes. They only accept SPD cleats as far as I can tell so if your shoes dont accept SPD then don't buy. Easy to swap the pedals over from my old rather worn resin set. Use a proper pedal spanner though which gives you just the right amount of leverage. The only downside with these pedals is that they have no reflectors on them - UK law states that any bike riden in the dark needs pedal reflectors so using these when it isn't daylight is illegal. About time the manufacturers noted UK law - but I would say that once my feet are on these then I doubt much light would get reflected back to car drivers even if they did have reflectors on them. Much better to buy decent bike lights Smart Lunar 25 Lux Front with 1/2 Watt Rear Light Set - White, (2xAA, 2xAAA batt.inc.) and reflective clothing in my opinion - although the law says different.

These pedals are great. The classic super durable SPD pedals built like a tank. I was considering buying used pedals on FBM, but people ask crazy prices for pedals that have been thrashed and abused, so when I saw the price for these brand new was a few bucks more than used, I jumped on it. Good price, good value for the money and they screw right on, fit like a champ. They spin smooth and clipping in and out is really easy. Admittedly the pedals these were meant to replace worked fine, but I was trying to eliminate a creak in the bottom end, and I thought it was coming from the pedals. As it turns out the noise was not the pedals, it was my bottom bracket. No worries, now I have backup pedals if the current ones I’m using ever go bad.

Muchos años de mtb y por fin me decidí a ponerle automáticos a la bici. QUE MARAVILLA !!!! los que estéis dudosos ni os lo penséis, estos pedales ayudan muchísimo al pedaleo, evitan caídas en pendientes duras y trialeras con mucho vaivén y son muy cómodos. Calidad precio estos son de lo mejorcito. Yo los compré plateados porque si los cogéis blancos o negros en cuanto se rayen o rocen (que se van a rayar y rozar inevitablemente más tarde o más temprano) se saltara la pintura mostrando el plateado del metal, por lo que si los cogéis plateados el efecto de roces y arañazos se disimula mucho mejor quedando estéticamente más bonitos. Para primerizos, antes de instalarlos, aflojar al máximo con un destornillador el puente de los pedales para introducir las calas de las botas, así el pie saldrá con mucha más facilidad evitando caídas. Como inconvenientes: --- Obligatoriamente tendréis que compraros unas zapatillas con calas (por 50-70 euros podréis conseguir modelos de gran calidad), incluso un cubre zapatillas impermeable para días lluviosos (20 a 50 euros). --- Es prácticamente seguro que los primeros días con los pedales automáticos os caeréis alguna vez. Caidas muy leves normalmente, hasta que os acostumbréis a soltaros de ellos a tiempo. En principio nada preocupante. --- Tener en cuenta que con ellos vais enganchados a la bici: esto aporta muchísimas ventajas, pero cuidado los que nos gusta bajar a toda velocidad por rampas con curvas y trialeras, ya que lo de tirarnos de la bici en marcha para salvarnos de una buena caída se complica un poco.

the best brand and pedals

Very strong

Montati sulla bici da spinning che ho a casa e li uso con un paio di scarpe da bici di decathlon con attacchi SPD. Facili da montare e stracomodi da usare.
