ShimanoPD-M520 SPD Pedals(Return to Product Page)

Replaced a pair on my old mountain bike that were never really very good. I can't believe how good these pedals work for the price! Wish I would've bought these a long time ago. BTD put these on sale for an unbelievable price that pushed me into purchasing.

Bought these pedals for use with fixed gear where I need to engage the trailing foot asap after push-off. These do the job perfectly - as the left foot comes off the ground, I can clip in almost immediately and attain maximum power - essential in heavy traffic. Single-sided pedals are fine for a regular freewheel where you can coast, but not here.

The Shimano PD-M520 pedals are an awesome and affordable gravel pedal. The pedal is very well made and I have never had an issue or problem with them. Maintenance and service is easily done. I find these pedals just as good as the higher end XT/XTR pedals. Very please with this purchase.

This is my go to gravel pedal. Durable, easy to clip in and out, easy to maintain. Great price and the usual easy order and fast shipping from BTD.

I�ve been using Shimano pedals for years without any problems.

I bought this as an entry level clipless pedal, and felt the value was good. After riding it around the block a few times, I really liked it. However, when I rode it to work, my toes would go numb. I tried adjusting cleat position and seat height to no avail. This could because of my casual cycling shoes (Shimano CT5) I was using did not have a stiff enough bottom, rather than the pedal's fault, but needless to say, I stopped using both of them.

My only complaint about this product is that it's impossible to return because the clips and pedals will never be like new after first use. I would have returned them, but it's honestly just the nature of the product. You can't return it.

I run these on my gravel bike, roadie, and commuter bike in all conditions all seasons in New England and no issues. Great value.

It was easy for me to adjust and learn how to use my first clip in type pedals. They seem indestructible.

the pedals work great, and are super affordable. Probably will last a lifetime too because Shimano.

Excellent value and great performance. Bought these for my wife as her first clip pedals. They work great and are very easy to use. Seem rugged and dependable.

For a bottom of the barrel pedal in this range, they sure do work great. Yeah they might be a few grams heavier than their more expensive counterparts, but when your CX bike is covered in mud, grams don't matter anymore. Clip in and out each time, no binding, no issues. Adjustable tension too!

These are my first clipless pedals for my mountain bike. They work great on the rail trails I ride most of the time. I have been using clipless on my road bike for years. It's great to be using clipless on both road and gravel.

I switched from eggbeaters to these, very happy with easy engagement and hold. I recommend them. Good value

Shimano Pedal Dynamics (SPD) are the pedals I used when I went clipless 15 years ago. I wore out 3 set of SPD's, never found a rebuild kit. 10 years ago I switched to Crank Bros Eggbeaters and Candy, for which I have rebuild kits ($10) and rebuilt 1 set. Cleats wear out before the pedal bearings. I remember a few episodes of SPD's jamming on engagement/disengagement. Scary when the pedal won't let go of your foot. Crank Bros are rebuild-able and smoother engage/disengage.

Started riding gravel road bike to get away from automobiles!

Haven't ridden enough (yet) but so far I like them better than my old Look style pedals. Much easier to get out of.

First time clipless rider following many decades of toe clips . Easy to install. East to adjust tension of release mechanism. Apprehension abated.

25 Years with these Shimano SPD Style Pedals. They've never caused issues, good float. Used mainly on my road bikes.

I just don't know, why I didn't order this sooner. It looks good and does his purpose. I ride more than 3,000 miles a year, so I need something in good quality and since all my other accessories are from Shimano, this completes my bike.

These pedals are working great! I did have to adjust the tension several times to get into and out of them safely. I am not sure why someone would spend 10 times the amount for a pedal that weighs a few grams less. They spin fine, don't make noise, hold securely. I am happy with the purchase. Maybe those expensive pedals are awesome, but these are well worth the money I paid. No complaints.
