Review on SHIMANO PD M540 SPD Pedals Black by Imed Artun

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Keeps you in Parts & Components

Like most clip-on pedals, it helps keep your foot in place. I can try as hard as I can and it won't let me go. It has good ground clearance, fairly light weight and a very nice pinch feel. I have them on both mountain bikes and road bikes. In both cases there were no problems in use. Revain has the best price. None of my local stores will even match the price. Of course, as with most other pedals, if you stop and forget to click out, be prepared to get off the ground. If you're not used to braces, the best thing you can do for yourself is practice, practice, practice getting out of the braces. Drive to a safe zone (empty parking lot) and buckle up. Practice starting and stopping again and again until you feel comfortable. Practice clipping at both the bottom and top of the crank rotation. Make it second nature. Learn to use the midfoot (no clip area) to pump in an "emergency" when not buckled. If you can't keep your balance when you're not moving forward, release early.
