3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.the perfect clipless pedal
By D. patton
the only thing not perfect about them is that if you're wearing regular shoes and the pedal or shoes are wet, these are fairly slippery. Otherwise, mine have about 30k miles on them (by me alone) and I am the second owner. The bearings are still well adjusted and smooth. I use them on my touring bike/commuter. Shimano products are far superior to most of what competitors offer and replacement cleats are available everywhere.I have heard that some shoes have tread that interferes with the aluminum body of these pedals. I have not experienced this, but surely worst case scenario you can cut off the bit of offending tread.

By Aaron
These pedals install easily - just make sure you tighten them down all the way.They are easy to click into/out of.The best part is the heavy cage around them. Obviously not something you would want if you're trying to save ounces. But, if you're like me and you happen to smack rocks every once in a while, they'll protect your pedal from getting destroyed.They come with the standard 51 cleats (single release). Upgrade to the 56 (multi release) and you won't be sorry you spent the extra $15-20.

By kouhoutek
I wanted to make the switch to clipless, but I didn't want to die...:)These are a great compromise. Sure, the guy at the bike show gave me grief as he put them on my road bike...at least until I asked him about a kickstand.But they have been great, letting me pedal while still fumbling to click in. You can ride them with street shoes, but I wouldn't recommend going to far, as the clip mechanism pokes into your soles.Now that I am used to them, I'll be getting lower profile pedals, and moving these to my MTB.
