SHIMANOSPD Pedal PD-EH500 0

I am new to cycling shows and clipless pedals. I wanted to find something that provided me with more flexibility. These pedals have the traditional flat size for standard shoes, but also offers a clipless option. I read many reviews, with some stating to just go full clipless. Reviews also referenced a feeling that it can get annoying to make sure you're on the correct pedal side. After using this pedals for a few weeks, I can agree with the last sentiment. While wearing standard shows, at times I find myself on the wrong side of the pedal and I have to take the extra time to flip it back over. However, today I purchased clipless mountain bike shoes and tried these for the first time. I felt like this was a game changer. When these were first installed, I was told do dial the adjustment back to 0, and then rotate 3 clicks forward. I was told this would provide the most flexibility for clipping in and out for a beginner. I found that advise extremely helpful and I love these pedals. I had no issues clipping in and out. I didn't fall and I felt very secure while riding. While I wouldn't choose these if I planned to primarily use the flats, it provides a great option for primarily using them with cycling shoes. I would highly recommend them to a bigger or someone that wants extra flexibility.

Well Made. I’m not crazy about the color (they are a little bluish). I’d rather have black as it would go with more colors. I love having the ability to clip in or ride more casually with regular shoes.

Ex pro racer and I wanted pedal for my bike packing gravel bike. these pedals work great when I want to use my gravel shoe or just head to the market in my trail running shoes. Best of both worlds

4.5 for easy release. Great quality, my only issue is that they release a bit too easy. On the other hand when riding steep single track that is actually a good thing. Overall I’m happy with my first clip less pedals.

Love these pedals. Easy clip in & out. Love the 2 sided design.

These are a nice replacement for the generic dual sided pedals that came on our spin bike. The OEM pedals started making noise and getting wobbly and these are an upgrade in every way. Shimano products are typically very good and these are no exception.

Got these as an option for my first tri. I’ve kept them on my bike now for a couple years and no issues. I have clip in shoes and it’s still great to have both options. Helps me with transitioning on and off the bike.

After one ride, I noticed the right pedal would free spin like my M545s (same bearing cartridge style) would when the grease was no longer in the bearings and needed a repack with grease. The left pedal was fine like a new pedal should be.I let the right pedal be and on the second ride noticed a slight feel in my foot like there was some grind friction when under climbing load on this pedal. When I was done, I noticed that the right pedal had too much grease leaking out.I'm going to try another pair. Will update.Otherwise, I was worried that coming from the m545s huge pedal surface, I'd not have the foot stability on the SPD side that I'm used to. Only two rides in, but they are not bad. I'm still cautious, but I can stand on them and not feel floaty. I am using my old cleats that are the SM-51.UPDATE - I did get a new set. After 100s of miles these have been awesome even with no servicing! I also feel very secure and stable putting my standup weight on the cleat area. I just ordered some polylube to finally give them the TLC they deserve!
