I've seen several of the reviewers give good reviews of these pedals. I'm going to be honest and say that I got these pedals to have my son practice with them before moving to clipless pedals. Pedals are known to be very rider specific. Bikes don't come with them any more if you dont buy them at a big box store because bike makers know that riders will replace them with pedals that they like rather than the ones that the manufacturers are willing to put on at the factory. My son has asked to try clipless pedals but finding the right pair of clipless pedals can be a chore, so rather than spending > $150 for shoes and pedals just to find that he doesn't really like the feel of riding clipped in, I ordered these so he can try them on our trainer. He's practiced clipping in and out and now feels comfortable with the Shimano system. I'm planning on moving these to a bike so that he can practice riding with them. Once he's got a couple of weeks just riding in the neighborhood, I'll order some higher level pedals to put on his trail bike.These pedals look to be decently made but I'm not entirely sure I want to test both the pedal strength and my son's ability to ride them at the same time. Last thing we would want is for the pedal to fail during a descent on a trail leading to injury so my review is to say that these works as clipless, Shimano style pedals that can be used to practice with. I can't say that I can review their ability to take hard compressions on a technical trail or one that has jumps or drops.

Well, not as nice as the CAD rendering of the product they show, but...nice enough. This class of thing -- convertible pedals -- have proven super-useful to our family; with-or-without cycling shoes.I don't 5-star-rate anything, but for this price, it seems unreasonable to be withholding.like:- Pretty nicely-made/nicely finished. Surprisingly, actually. Not-at-all crappy. I'm a cyclist, these are legit.- Reasonably light, ~300 grams/set.- Decent-looking- Stainless metal bits (seems, but can't be 100% sure).- Comes with cleats! Dude!dislike:- Axles have a lot of resistance. They'll probably loosen a bit with use, but still, Campagnolo bearings these are not.- "Nylon fiber" body = plastic. Hard plastic, and probably fine over time.value: Quite excellent! ~$33 at time of this review, decent pedals with cleats; done.in sum: Yep, I'd buy these and recommend them. Are the ideal for a $2,000+ bike? Of course not. But I'd be okay with these on a $1K bike, or any bike that was going to see use with sneakers.

I like the size and shape of these pedals. They use a standard 9/16 thread and work with standard two-bolt SPD shoes.The pedals attached easily to my SPD shoes that already had standard cleats. I did loosen the spring tension adjustment to its minimum tension which is sufficient for my riding needs at present. The mechanics of stepping into the pedal and stepping off the pedal worked as expected.The bearings on the pedals seem very smooth and turn evenly but a little slowly; I assume this is due to lubrication and they will loosen up a bit as they are used.Overall, a great set of SPD pedals with an included set of cleats.

Very nice, lightweight pedals with SPD clips. The nylon pedals feel solid with an interesting texture that grip rubber shoe soles nicely. Lightweight at 0.70 lbs or 0.32 kg.Installation was a breeze with the included Allen wrench. Took a spin around the yard, no complaints. The bearings are still a bit stiff, but should break-in after some miles.The clips aren't too obtrusive, so if you happen to put your foot on the wrong side of the pedal, it doesn't hurt or hinder pedaling.Overall very satisfied with the look and feel of these pedals.

UPDATE: The seller promptly contacted me about my problem below, and shipped a new pedal set which installed and work perfectly. I've left my review of the original set below, but I am now completely satisified, and would've awarded 5 stars if I hadn't had a problem with my first set. Because of the design of these pedals and the seller's great customer service, I recommend this versatile pedal.These pedals appear to be constructed with quality materials, and provide an ability to be clipped in with SPD cleats or uncleated if you use the other side of the pedal. This is handy if you're riding technical trails and may need to put a foot down quickly, or if you're using your bike in town with street shoes. Now here's the catch - on my pedals, I observed there was much more drag when turning left pedal axle vs the right pedal, so I inspected the axle and found that the metal bearing race that screws into the nylon pedal body appears rounded and misshapened, causing friction as the pedal turns. The packaging was good shape, so I can only guess something must've happened during the assembly process. Since pedals are a critical bike component, I will wait until I hear from the seller/manufacturer before I install these pedals.
