Important to first of all: There are currently 3 times these pedals on Amazon. All models are the same. Important is the type designation "PD-M785" is. In normal trading they will gladly offered for 85, on the internet the average price is 55 does not include shipping. So take a close look at the offer. But now the most important experiences:
These pedals depend currently on my new Bulls - Bushmaster 2 2012 and complement the XT / XTR equipment. Visually, the things are very jewelery. By Käftig and the construction method but no corpse weights. For real enthusiasts weight so only conditionally recommended. But for the amateur trail riders quite a exzelente choice. Despite the fact that it is pure clipless pedals, you can travel with normal shoes well a few kilometers. The cage is handy and far enough. For this reason, they can use super to switch. What's the case with me. The entrance is at the beginning of practice. It works better for me to feel than to the eye. You have to because otherwise you can not react quickly enough when just clipless pedals go vorrausschauender. Now a summary of the pros and cons:
Pro:
- Super price / performance ratio
- Multi Release. You can take the heel inward and outward from the pedals.
- Snap in "Einrasthärte". The screws have all 90 degrees a kind of "Einraster" on which one can orient oneself and thus can adjust all 4 bonds equal.
- Even without SPD shoes Mobile. This multi-functional for the way to the bakery or through Switzerland. ^^
- After the setting is correct heard snapping for normal driving. You get used to it very quickly.
- Even with extreme contamination with mud with no problems fully functional.
- Good, vertical durability. One can, once engaged, super pushing and pulling. In Wiegeschrit.
Cons:
- Due to the wide cage you have a great guide, but that it can delay the locking of the SPD shoe. Without exercise (some one also times when driving times and disengage) may annoy the.
- Relatively high weight compared to professional SPD pedals. But for trails that's no problem.
Conclusion:
A well-designed SPD pedal for conversion / entry in the clipless pedals. Affordable, durable and high functionality. Anyone who has not yet completely sure if he wants to go on with MTB SPD, can hereby enter well. Full buy recommendation.
