Review on SHIMANO Pd-gr500 Pedal: Optimal Performance for MTB and BMX Riding by Jarrett Love

I am restoring a 1988 Nishiki Colorado and wanted new pedals to replace the sawtooth shank grinders that came with it. I saw these Shimanos and they looked like a good pair. They are very well made and have a beautiful brushed aluminum finish that goes well with the other brushed aluminum components on the bike (see photos). They can be a bit flashy and flashy on some bikes but are great on the Colorado. They have perfect grip in my opinion and the spikes on the cranks don't tear on the shins like my old pedals. Five stars everywhere.
