The Shimano PD-A530 SPD Road Dual Platform Bike Pedal makes the ideal choice for your around-town bike that sees both long rides to work and short trips to the store.

This review is from: Shimano PD-A530 SPD Dual Platform Pedal (Sports) I bought this from Amazon, having never purchased cycling gear from Amazon before, because Amazon had by far the best price on the product. The pedal is exactly as I expected based on reviews, for better and for worse. I'll go over the pros and cons.Pros: (1) Very inexpensive for the functionality you're getting - flat pedal for commuting or casual rides, SPD pedal for longer rides. (2) Relatively light weight (380g on my scale), much lighter than most mountain bike-specific SPD pedals, which until recently were your only choice for a dual-sided pedal (for example, the Shimano PD-M324 Clipless/Clip Pedals). (3) The pedals look very sleek. (4) The bearings are much better than the inexpensive pedals I had been using before on my commuter. The "spinup", for lack of a better term,...

I chose these pedals because I could use them as clipless pedals with cycling shoes on one side and with my regular shoes on the other side. They are weighted so that they automatically spin to have the clip-in side up. If you are riding without your shoes, you just have to flip them. Since I most often ride with my cycling shoes I like it this way. They are adjustable so that you can make them easier or harder to clip into. I have never used clipless pedals before so I can't compare them to other types of clipless pedals, but I love the flexibility and quality of these and I love using the clipless pedals. They are great! 25 of 27 people found the following review helpful This review is from: Shimano PD-A530 SPD Dual Platform Pedal (Sports) I ride my bike almost every day. Some days just around my college campus. Other days I go out training for triathlons. These pedals fit this problem perfectly. One side is the standard platform, and on the other is the clip. The standard pedal side has a nice base with great traction. The clip side is easy to get into and get out of. Pedals are light weight and all metal. Great quality you would expect from Shimano. Well worth the price for the versatility. |
