PD-RS500 SPD-SL Road Pedal

Easy to install and solid build for the price.

Nice pedal and easy to clip in using Shimano cleats. The functionality and performance of using this pedal versus not using a clip in pedal is a game changer. I was a bit worried clipping in and out would be difficult but its actually very easy so you don't have to worry about tipping over at a stop.

The newest part on my old 1980s road bike. They work amazing! Can’t complain! Very easy to clip in and out. In fact, I think they are better than the shamanno Duraace pedals on my tribike!

Unless you're a weight weenie, these are the best pedals for most roadies. They can be removed and installed with a standard pedal wrench, rather than only with a hex wrench.

Great buy. Easy to install and use. Nice and sturdy. Didn’t even adjust the clip in/clip out resistance. Perfect out of the box. The clips/cleats on the other hand, the work mostly well. Just that they don’t seem super durable. Lost of indents already just from clipping and one is even slightly broken already after only 2 days. Not a deal breaker though. I’d buy replacements to have when they finally give up.

I ride multiple bikes and am always looking to add another into the garage. Triathlon, road, MTB, fat. One thing I keep common across the bikes are pedals. I have Shimano shoes, I use Shimano SPD-SL cleats, I need pedals to match. These are going on a fat bike that currently has platform pedals, so not worried about weight. Yes, I am putting SPD-SL road cleat pedals on an off-road bike; totally violating all bike norms but I already have the shoes. As this thing is a fat bike, weight becomes secondary. I pay less, I get 100-grams more; yes my tri-bike has Dura Ace where grams and performance matters. Here I want clip-in/clip-out using the same supporting equipment I already have. I still get Shimano quality. These even came with a brand-new set of yellow cleats; bargain. Pay more, get less weight. Pay less, you don’t get Shimano.

Product states only pedals included in package and Amazon suggested people often bought cleats to attach to the biking shoes so I bought cleats. Turns out the pedals include the cleats so you don’t need to buy them separately. Product description should be updated to say pedals and cleats included with hardware to attach to shoes.

Think I’ll buy stock in SHIMANO .
