Review on 🚡 Experience Superior Performance with SHIMANO PD-M9120 Top Enduro/Trail Pedal by Jamal Gerrero

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great pedal, seals keep declining

Great pedal, good platform, weight, feel and tension adjustment. The heart of the problem is that the oil seals on the spindles are constantly coming off. My first set went 2 rides before the seals failed. I returned them for a second set which did the same after one ride. This is really disappointing as these pedals could be "PTOs" if it weren't for this problem. This is a big problem because once dirt gets into the spindle/bearing you have to take it apart and flush with new grease. Otherwise, the internal parts of the pedal will wear out quickly, making the pedal feel sluggish. If it weren't for some other minor factory defect that forces me to rebuild the pedal every month, I'd happily keep them. Shimano should be aware of this issue by now, there is plenty of information/reviews illustrating this issue.

Pros
  • Stability and pedaling efficiency: Wide bearing arrangement and extra long and wide pedal to pad contact area improves stability and power transfer
Cons
  • Some issues
