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.

I haven't owned a lot of clipless pedals, so I don't have much to compare these to, but I've been very happy with these pedals so far. I ride about 80-100 miles a week on mostly gravel trails on a gravel/cyclocross-style bike, just for exercise, and the pedals have held up fine. I'm not super concerned about weight, and I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on bike gear, so these were perfect for me. I like the double-sided clip-ins - they make it very easy to get clipped in without too much fuss. The pedals had fine clip-in tension when I installed them, so there was basically nothing to do but screw them in and take off! I don't expect these to last forever, but I'd be happy to buy another pair when these wear out.

Very well made and sturdy!

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.

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 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!

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

Die Pedale wurden für das Fahrrad auf dem heimischen Rollentrainer gekauft. Funktionieren einwandfrei und haben einen guten voreingestellten Auslösepunkt. Der Auslösepunkt lässt sich aber auch entsprechend einstellen. Würde das Produkt definitiv wieder kaufen.
