SHIMANO PD-EH500, SPD Bike Pedals, Cleat Set Included, Dual Sided Platform

I got these for my transition between road biking - where I've been using SPD pedals for years - and mountain biking where I was finding that I needed/wanted to be clipped in for some thing and unclipped for more difficult terrain. First, the pedals are top quality. They are incredibly easy to get into and unclip from. They are light and just built well overall. The flat side is not as big as a normal flat MTB pedal though so be aware of that. If this kind of pedal is what you want, you will not be disappointed. Having said that, I've switched to flat pedals on my MTB. In the end, I got tired of trying to decide whether to use the clip side or the flat side. The clip side is great for that feeling of being solidly connected to the bike but it was holding me back from tackling more and more difficult terrain. The fear of not being able to unclip if I couldn't manage a section was getting in my head and making me not try things. It's too hard to anticipate the proper side in dynamic terrain. Plus, it was too hard to find the right side if you had to start on a hill or some difficult patch. I switched to regular flat MTB pedals and have been much happier. Knowing I can get out has given me much more confidence to tackle tough sections and I've enjoyed riding them much more. Given the proper shoes, my feet stick pretty well on the pedals anyway so it's not as bad as it could be. My feet do come off every once in a while but overall, I'm glad I went flat. That's not the fault of these pedals though so I stand by my high rating.
