🚲 SHIMANO PD-M530 MTB Pedals Review

This is a reversible pedal that accepts SP-51 or SP-56 cleats. It comes with a pair of 51s, which are single exit cleats. From a practical standpoint, there isn't much of a difference between the cleats since most people step out in the same direction anyway (heel rotates outward). The delivery was quick too. No complaints. 2 thumbs up. And they come in pairs, it's not just one pedal.

I've been using Shimano SPD platformless pedals for many years and decided to try them on my mountain bike. So nice to have an extra platform. I had more watts on the pedals and didn't feel my sensations crashing around the spindle as I stood up. I ordered a second set for my gravel bike. Great deal at a quarter of the price of a new XTR. The only downside is a little heavy, I'm not fat.

I had an XT-Spd, pedal stuck - first ride! curved stem $100 I had a $100 Flat Speed XT pedal combo hit, I think my front shock was low but the XT spindle flexes really easily. The m530 pedal size allows me to snap or do awkward things when the arch support is just clipped with bolts. Shimano's other plastic cage and cleat combo combo pedals don't allow for a clean exit, which is annoying when I'm looking down a cliff when it hurts. (but they are lighter)

This is my second set of these pedals. The first set was stolen along with the bike they were installed on 🙁 But they worked so well I decided to get another set. The double-sided feature might make the pedal more difficult for some, but I never have to worry about the right side facing up. I just click and go. The pedals are well balanced so they always point up. Straight out of the box the tension settings are set correctly, there are even "R" and "L" letters on the pedals to indicate the…

I was initially nervous about the clip on pedals but glad I took the plunge. They are extremely easy to install and set up. Make sure you have an Allen wrench to adjust, but I think most cyclists have one. These pedals are perfect for my Trek FX-1. If this is your first time, be sure to practice getting in and out before driving next to a wall, and then practice on a flat grassy area. It didn't take me long to get used to them before I realized I cut them without even thinking about it. It's…

These are my first clipless pedals and I am very glad I bought them. I bought two sets and used them on my fat bike, 29″ hardtail and full suspension on various single trails. I'm not worried about saving a bit of weight here and there, so I bought it with all-round protection with no clamping mechanism to protect against rocks etc. If you haven't used clamps before, relax the tension completely so you can get your legs out as soon as possible. I have flats, not clips. When you're riding trails

So far so good. Bought these to complement my Shimano CT500 shoes. It took maybe 10 minutes to master clipping and clipping. Once inside, your shoes will stay in, even in the loosest fit. I've always been a little nervous about clipless pedals and still use trap pedals with toe clips, but after 15 minutes on the road they felt great. and secure on the climbs and seemed to make me perform better (but that could be a placebo effect). The only odd thing I noticed was that the shoe seemed to move…

My wife and I use them for road biking so they are easy to remove but I have never had them pop out under power so why would I want an SPD-L to buy? When are you perfect for me? After all, I'm not Chris Froome. Easy to fit and tighten, never a problem and withstands a variety of conditions including mud, road salt, dirt, rain and sometimes intermittent cleaning on my part - much easier to clean the entire bike. and forget the pedal hardware. They seem to be beasts when it comes to durability…

I bought these pedals a while ago but didn't immediately mount them on my bike. I've never used clipless pedals and was concerned that if I didn't release my foot in time I would become clumsy starting and roll over. I finally switched pedals a few weeks ago to get some practice. and then go back to my old commuter toe clips until I'm comfortable with the new system. i was too worried They're very easy to snap in and out – in fact, my foot usually snaps on its own on the first strike or two…
