I have these essays mounted on my CC Road. The weight of these essays always hang down and the still usable click function of the pedal is always accessible in the same position from the top. For use with street shoes so little practice when starting is necessary because the pedals then hang ° wrongly ° around. Since I am with light traveling often, the reflectors are not to be underestimated safety advantage. The offered by Shimano pedals with existing unilateral platform these reflectors are missing. For durability, I can write a little, for years, the parts are assembled, as I am but only for short trips with street shoes on the way I hardly wear. Before the pedals are at the end of life. For installation, the parts are so difficult to assemble but because I let this just mounted if necessary, this does not bother me.
