Review on 🚴 Enhance Your MTB Performance with Shimano PD-M520L Sport Pedals and Cleats by Adam Townsend

I bought these to replace some racquets I was having trouble with. I have had SPDs, 737s and 747s from a few years ago and they have been excellent in dry conditions. These new 520s handle mud a little better, and the simpler design is probably good for reliability, but I'm not happy with the click performance. I am using new, properly installed Shimano cleats and am having trouble getting in and out. They take more force to get in and out than the old SPD, not much different than the Eggbeaters. They're also a lot lighter, so I can go back if SPDs don't get better after a break. Hence 3 stars for now. I will update in a few months.
