 the perfect clipless pedalAug 20, 2010
By D. patton
"dougie fresh"
the only thing not perfect about them is that if you're wearing regular shoes and the pedal or shoes are wet, these are fairly slippery. Otherwise, mine have about 30k miles on them (by me alone) and I am the second owner. The bearings are still well adjusted and smooth. I use them on my touring bike/commuter. Shimano products are far superior to most of what competitors offer and replacement cleats are available everywhere.
I have heard that some shoes have tread that interferes with the aluminum body of these pedals. I have not experienced this, but surely worst case scenario you can cut off the bit of offending tread.

 Shimano PD M545 PedalsMay 03, 2012
By Aaron T. Shadle
These pedals are great for on the trail, I like them better than my shimano pedals without the cages. But since I am on my 3rd pair for the same reason everytime they break, it's time to look for something else. Everytime they break the "nut" on the outside of the pedal gets stripped and pops off and gets lost and then the cage on the outside just flops around. I have had this happen on the trail twice and although you can continue riding without any trouble you still need to address the issue when you get home, which is the $100 pair of pedals you bought are broke. The "nut" on the outside is just crap it's cast aluminum and not strong at all to with stand the mountain atmosphere.
I give these pedals 4.5 stars for design, but for the ability to ride hard and take a beating they suck and I would not reccomend them for true singletrack riders as they don't last. Which is why I gave them 2 stars for toughness.

Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'Feb 13, 2012
By Aaron
These pedals install easily - just make sure you tighten them down all the way.
They are easy to click into/out of.
The best part is the heavy cage around them. Obviously not something you would want if you're trying to save ounces. But, if you're like me and you happen to smack rocks every once in a while, they'll protect your pedal from getting destroyed.
They come with the standard 51 cleats (single release). Upgrade to the 56 (multi release) and you won't be sorry you spent the extra $15-20.

I like em....Jul 04, 2011
By Jay Baker
So far (after about 500) miles on the pedals I really like them. I'm a heavy guy and they are holding up nicely so far. I must point out that I am just a trail rider. No crazy stuff, no jumps or hucking off drops or anything like that. About the biggest drop I take is off a curb or a small log in the trail. For years I had been riding the flip pedals by Shimano (platform on one side clipless on the other). But I finally got a dedicated mountain bike that I'm only using for trail riding (and not short trips without my clipless pedals). I must say It is really nice to NOT have to look down to see if the clipless side of the pedal is facing up when I want to clip in. This is especially nice when in sand or trying to clip in on an incline....

Great clip and platform pedalsMar 25, 2011
By Judi
These pedals are great and so easy to get into and out of. Also, other people that do not have clip in shoes can ride the bicycle. The purchase went very smoothly. The price was excellent compared to bike store prices. Love the pedals and think they are well worth the price.
