Questions & Answers

Could you please explain what the difference is between the A530 and M530 pedals?

Unlike the A530, which is heavier and has a flat surface on one side, the A530 is lighter and more comfortable to ride in with and without shoes. You can clip in the M530 on both sides, so that there is no "flat part" to worry about. There are some people who do not like combat boots. I ride with combat boots sometimes and it doesn't bother me.

Do you think these pedals would fit on a road bike as well? I frequently fidget around with road bike pedals trying to clip in, and there aren't any decent dual sided pedals I can find?

There is no problem as long as you have mountain bike shoes/clips. Having the option of a platform or a clip made it easy for me to use, and clipping in and out was super easy. Walking in mountain bike shoes is as easy as walking in sneakers.

If you order two pedals, do you get two pedals or do you have to order them with a quantity of two?

Each pair of earrings comes in a box. This means that one order consists of

Is it possible to use these pedals with an indoor bicycle?

Is it possible to use them on Nordictrack bikes as well?

There are two of them Pedal with two sides that takes SP-based pedals The 51 or the The cleats on the field number 56. With the 51's, which are single-orbital, there is a pair of them These cleats help you exit the tunnel. The design of the cleats varies less in practice than it does in theory, since most people exit in one direction anyway (heel twisting out). I was also pleased with the shipping time. There is nothing to complain about. The thumbs up are both. And they do come in pairs these pedals are not individual units.

5/5

A couple of weeks ago, I finally switched pedals after deferring to use clipless pedals for a while. I was nervous about starting, getting comfortable, and falling over when my foot was not free as soon as I expected. There was far too much worry in my head. I can clip into them and pop them out without even thinking. In fact, when I start off from a stop, my foot usually clicks in after only a few strokes, before I even start to think There are clips on both sides of the pedals, so setting it up and setting it up doesn't take a lot of fiddling. It is easy to pop my foot free even in a hurry even if I do make a practice of opening my feet before I come to a stop. It's not like I'm a performance rider or anything like that, I'm a plodding old-timer This pedal is really, really nice. I'm a bearded commuter, but I love this pedal. I can see a difference personally even if I am not the only one. This is a tip for those who install cleats in their SPD shoes In my shoes, there are stickers you stick under the insole to prevent water from getting in. It is a good idea to apply stickers only after riding The cleat is very difficult to adjust once it is inside the bag. I had to cut one of the stickers to make the cleat placement more precise. For those of you who have been considering switching to clipless pedals, this is an excellent choice. *Edit two I haven't encountered a single issue with these pedals through thousands of miles of use. I came here again to order a second pair of riding shoes for my fancy new.

My Peloton will love this! In addition to SPD cleats on my shoes, I bought these to replace the LOOK Delta pedals that come with the bike
5/5

These pedals were easy to install and have L and R markings so you know you're putting them on correctly (Which means no more 'kicking' the pedal around to get it to clip-in. In addition, the right and left are also related).

As far as I can tell, all is well
5/5

My Shimano CT500 shoes were missing these so I picked them up. As far as I can tell, all is well. My Shimano CT500 shoes were missing these so I picked them up. After I got the hang of clipping in and out, it only took me 10 minutes. Despite its tackiness, even the loosest of shoelaces keeps your shoes in place. There's always been something unsettling about clip-less pedals for me, and I still have a bit of a rat-fear It might not be the best idea to buy trap pedals with toe clips, but once I had spent 15 minutes on the road I felt comfortable and secure on the up stroke and gained more power (though it might just be the placebo effect). would point out is that the cleats did not seem to be very firmly attached to the shoes, and that there seems to be quite a bit of side to side movement of the shoe. I figured the cleats/pedals would remain stationary no matter what the shoes were doing. There is apparently a lauded float of six or four degrees, but you get used to it.

There are many advantages to the larger platforms
5/5

The order was placed on the second. They are paired. In the past, I have used the non-platform Shimano SPD pedals on my bike, and I decided to try them out on my mountain bike. This is such a great platform to have. My strength was better to the pedals and after I stood up, I did not feel my arms collapse around my spindle. The new XTRs are a quarter of the price of the second set I ordered for my gravel bike. For that low price, I'm happy. My only downside is that I am a bit heavy, but I am not a skinny girl.

5/5

The feeling of power when riding a bicycle is amazing. To begin with, I was apprehensive about getting clipped It was a bit of a jump, but I'm glad I did it. Getting them installed and adjusting them is a breeze. Make sure you have an Allen key set with you for adjustments, but I believe most bikers do. My Trek FX pedals are compatible with these The first one is perfect. It's a good idea to practice clipping into and out of your helmet before your first ride next to a wall, and then practice on a grassy area as well. I became accustomed to them quickly, and before I knew it, I was clipping in and out without even noticing. In addition, if you need to get out of them quickly, it isn't that difficult. Performing cycling exercises leads to a significant improvement in power. Those dreaded hills are a bit easier to climb with the extra These pedals are an excellent starting point if you're like me and looking for something affordable!.

Shimano's quality is consistent, and they are a real Shimano
5/5

Despite the fact that I have never had them pop out under power, my wife and I ride these for road biking because they are easy to get out of and I have never had any problems. Is it possible for me to use these when they work perfectly? At the end of the day, I'm not Chris Froome. Installation and tightening are extremely easy, with no problems whatsoever, and they are built to last over a long time Including mud, road salt, dirt, rain and sometimes inconsistent cleaning, I have to contend with all these conditions. Using a rag to wipe the whole bike and forgetting about the pedal hardware is so much easier. There is no doubt that these are beasts in terms of Occasionally I would slam a curb or take a turn too fast and hit the pavement or something else - or the other way around, depending on where I was - to get a few scratches. Unfortunately, I have a bad attitude. Although they hold up perfectly, just as you would expect real Shimano pedals to do. They are fairly easy to adjust the tension, though you do have to have a good eye for counting the threads or eyeing them the right way, but I think that's to be expected. Black and chrome look great with pretty much anything, and the extra part that's attached to the outer part helps you get into them smoothly, but doesn't block your shoes' connection to the clips at all. I'm in the market for some good pedals for my road bike or mountain bike.

What's up with five stars? Who can I ask for more than that? I am amazed at how beautifully these pedals are made, and how they work smoothly
5/5

With an easy clip-on and clip-in system, Shimano engineers, who really know their stuff, have created a bike component that works as expected. These are easy to adjust, and the settings will stay where you want them. In almost all cases, getting out of them is the easiest part The same holds true for nature I can pedal and clip three times faster than I could with my Look pedals. There will never be a time when I return. Yes, they may be a little on the heavy side, but durability makes up for it, and for the price, the weight feels more like quality than just added weight. I am sure you will already know what I am talking about if you have previously used Shimano pedals. It will amaze you if you haven't experienced it yet. It's a good feeling to have money- I spent it. Thanks for letting me join you.
