Shimano PD A520 Sport SPD Pedal – Reviews

excellent pedal. I’m replacing my “mountain” type dual sided spd’s with these pedals on my road bikes. They are much better at avoiding “hot foot” since they have a larger platform.

I’ve used SpeedPlay peddles for years. Yes they are great, but like a lot of “road” peddles, you have to wear road shoes…and go clomping around when you walk in em. And pray you don’t breakdown miles from home and have to walk home in them. Plus the cost is about 4 times the sale price of these @$50 peddles. I’ve also used the two sided PD520s and the more expensive PD770s…Save your money and get these if you want a “road” look to your peddle and more aero. However with the twosided 520s you do get twice the peddle to wear out…
Also you will be able to get a good set of cheap vs. expensive shoes, perhaps the Shimano M086. I’ve been using these shoes and peddles for over a year now a like them a lot. Yes most all of these “cheap” peddles in this series that I’ve tried eventually end up developing some “clicking” and/or squeeeeeking @ times. But @ 1/4 the cost… if this noise bothers you get a new pair…Save your expensive shoes and peddles for you races and impressing peop

This review is based on only a few rides – but that includes a couple of commutes, a 30-mile ride with about 2000ft of climbing and a 6-mile 2500ft hill climb (followed by a nice, fast 2500ft descent). Anyway, when I started road biking again after a substantial gap, I put some mountain bike SPDs on my road bike — recently I wanted a pedal that was a little lighter and had a platform for better power transfer (and I still wanted to be able to walk in my shoes). These pedals fit the bill since they work with the recessed cleats on my MTB shoes. Straight out of the box the tension was dialled in really tight. I had to slacken the tension off a lot to be able to get in and out of these. That’s easy though; all you need is a 3mm hex key and the direction is marked with a + to increase tension and a – to decrease tension. Having set the tension, entry and exit from the pedals is super-easy. They’re actually much nicer to get out of than my old pedals.
The platform works well too. I can’t

Great pedal for the first time clipless user. Easy in and out, and the pedal has a nice wide platform so you don’t have to click in.
