ideal for 1st time SPD user

- Malcolm, 23 May, 2020

Always been concerned about using SPD's as Im a gravel/road cyclist and to be honest, take the odd silly risk. coupled with several mates falling off and bruising it was a hard decision. Lockdown has changed this as doing a lot of rolling road, this has given me a chance to try and practice, but to be honest the settings and ease of this pedal makes me wonder why I never tried before - set up release to ping with little twist and then tweak as you get used to it. Great pedal.

Pros & Cons

Easy set up
Easy to fit on bike
Easy to fit on shoes
Ideal for gravel users

Good product, excellent price and service

- Kevin, 18 May, 2020

Ordered the pedals and was slightly nervous as I’d never used Mantel before. Brilliant service and prices. Will definitely use again

Excellent pedals

- Daniel, 17 May, 2020

These pedals are high quality as with all shimano and make good transition pedals to spd or you can leave your bike open for either clip in or normal shoe riding

Pros & Cons

Look great
Solid pushing platform

Fantastic, versatile pedals for any kind of riding

- Ross, 15 May, 2020

I am extremely pleased with these pedals ever since fitting them on my gravel bike. They are fairly light and are balanced very well so they do not swing round to one side each time you unclip. The SPD side works very well as to be expected with most Shimano SPD pedals. There is a large range of adjustment and the release mechanism is reliable. The platform side is a good size, and the 16 screw-in pins provide more than enough grip when riding with non-cleated shoes. Couldn't recommend these more. I would recommend the upgrade over the PDA530 pedals if you want a bit more grip on the platform sides too.

Pros & Cons

Evenly balanced
Fairly lightweight
Grippy
Looks
Paint wears fairly quickly

Very Fast Delivery considering they are based outside the UK will use again.

- George, 15 May, 2020

Leaving this review based on the speedy delivery alone as I have not set up these pedals yet but feel very well made. Great gunmetal color. Not super light but that doesn't bother me feel like that will last. Speedy delivery to the UK on the third working day. We will definitely be ordering again for future parts and accessories.

Excellent product. Great service from Mantel.

- Mark, 13 May, 2020

I now have 3 sets of these pedals for my bikes. They are so straightforward to use and I love the double sided aspect so I can use them to pop to the shops if needed. This is the first time I have used Mantel. The product range is very good, the price is unbeatable and the service and delivery is again exceptional. I would use again without hesitation.

Versatile pedal for multi purpose riding

- Ricky, 9 May, 2020

Great quality and design. Well made and looks good. SPD works well as expected. The flat side is good for limited time pedalling but it's a bit small and doesn't grip as well as a dedicated big MTB flat pedal, but that is to be expected. If you alternate on a ride between road and forest trails etc then this is the best option out there.

Pros & Cons

Design
Quality
Versatility
Flat side not large or grippy enough

Lovely pedals, great product and fast delivery

5 / 5

Brilliant

- Stuart, 29 April, 2020

I was a bit hesitant about dual pedals and not sure if these were right for a Mtb. Having fitted them and tried the with both spd and flat shoes I would highly recommend them. Spd locks in solid and releases easily enough and the flat side has loads of grip. I also thought it would be a pain having to constantly flip the pedal round the right way but that doesn't seem to be the case, it seems to be the right way most of the time.

Pros & Cons

Dual sided
Fairly lightweight
Solid
None

Excellent pedals

- Rick, 14 April, 2020

Really good set of pedals with cleats included. A good way of getting used to pedals with cleats. Good price and service. Thanks

Smart bit of kit

- David, 13 April, 2020

Great all round pedal. Easy to assemble and fit. Also3easy to adjust clip in tension. This pedal offers best of both worlds with mountain bike micro spd clip in or flat side with raise grub screws for trainers. To be honest I bought these for my new grail bike as already have them on my old mountain bike and road bike.

Pros & Cons

Easy to adjust
Easy to assemble
Easy to fit
Versatile
Can't think of any

Great dual use pedal

- David, 10 February, 2020

Great pedals but when wearing flat shoes they are a bit too narrow for those with Yeti feet i;e me. When riding with clips though this isn't an issue. All in all great pedals and glad I bought them.

Pros & Cons

Easy to clip in
Easy to clip out
Reasonably priced
I wish I could have a wider size

5 / 5

Just what I wanted

- Alan, 3 December, 2019

These pedals are, for me, exactly what I needed for my Gravel bike, I like the option to clip in or not when the surface changes

Pros & Cons

Double choice
Easy fit
Non
Paint does wear quickly

5 / 5

The best of both worlds

- Dave, 11 September, 2019

I bought these pedals for my partner who is keen to progress to using cleats but she doesn't want to lose the ability to hop on her bike just wearing trainers. Having SPD on one side and a flat but grippy surface on the other then these pedals offer the best of both worlds. The pedals are weight biased so they naturally sit with the SPD side upwards and are easily flipped over when wearing non-bike shoes.

Pros & Cons

Flexible

5 / 5

Nice upgrade on the A530

- Gareth, 10 July, 2019

Love the A530s but they're lethal in the wet. The studs on the EH500 solve that problem and make these the perfect all-round pedal if you use your bike for a variety of activites. They're not particularly heavy but if Shimano want to make a lightweight version, they can have my money!

Great dual side pedals

- Mark, 27 March, 2019

Better than the previous generation Shimano dual sided pedals. Really easy to clip/unclip. Recommended.

Ultimate dual purpose pedal

- Hinai, 27 March, 2019

This pedal is great for touring bikes, bike-packers and commuters. Jump on your bike and go, one side grips any shoe you happen to be wearing when you run out the door to nip down the shops to “get yer messages”. Slam your foot down on the studded side and it’s blast off time... even in your slippers! Wattage bazooka to the bakery

Pros & Cons

Easy clip in
Grippy studs provided
Lovely colour
Slipper compatible
SPD compatible
Nada
Need bionically implanted cleats for barefoot use
Not good for barefoot sprintouts

4 / 5

Great but don't choose for the colour!

- Andrew, 20 December, 2018

Pedals are great, light and easy to engage. The flats are much improved over the old model, with proper screw studs supplied which grip really well in wet conditions. While I don't care much for appearance, be aware that predictably the grey colour paint starts to come off after, literally, the first ride.

Pros & Cons

Easy clipless use
Grippy flat side
Light weight
Paint comes off immediately
