Reviews over the

Shimano PD-EH500

Top pedals to use your bike both with cycling shoes and regular shoes.

Once again, an excellent product from Shimano. I now use this set on my gravel bike which I now use more and more often for commuting. Good quality, nice design, reliable and easy to assemble. Ideal that the bolts for traction with normal shoes are included separately. So you can decide for yourself whether you need them and how many you want to use. I have now fitted 4 per pedal which is really fine for me. Enough traction to accelerate firmly and not feeling like your trainers are being destroyed by the bolts poking into your sole.

Pros & Cons

Works perfectly. Easy to install. Perfect for riders who want to ride the same bike with and without MTB shoes. A little more difficult to click in as a beginner, as of course only possible on one side of the pedal.

Very practical. Easy to clip on and off for difficult terrain. Well balanced. The pedal does not automatically snap into position when released. Very useful for using the bike with normal shoes too.

Pedals immediately feel like reliable quality product. The grip pins for the valved side are quickly fitted, and work well. Makes the bike more usable, no need to put on special shoes all the time.

Pros & Cons

Nice addition to the composition of the Santos. Harmony, if you are passionate about material you get that. Everything has to be right

Pros & Cons

Perfect pedal if you don't want to click in for a while. And also good to use when I want to cycle with a hiking boot on.

Pros & Cons

N/A

The pedals work perfectly. Assembly is quick and simple. Fitting the iron pins is a frustrating bit of work, but does not detract from the functionality.

Pros & Cons

Vlotte snelle levering. Goede pedalen om zowel zonder als met spd te gebruiken

Pros & Cons

Very easy to use with clips as well as regular shoes.

Pros & Cons

I recently bought some Shimano bicycle pedals, and I'm totally satisfied with my purchase. The quality of the pedals is excellent, they're robust and offer a very good grip. You can tell straight away that this is a high-quality product, designed to last. On top of that, the delivery was impeccable. My order was processed very quickly and the pedals arrived in perfect condition. I particularly appreciated the speed with which the order was processed and the care taken with the packaging. I would highly recommend these pedals to any cyclist looking for reliable, quality equipment!

Excellent combi pedals. Easy to use.

Pros & Cons

Shimano quality pedals.

Second time I've chosen this model. Practical for the velotaf with its dual system.

Easy to use for as a beginner cyclist very nice to do more the race bike without putting on clicks

Pros & Cons

Engaging works fine with the SPD system

Pros & Cons

Had these pedals installed on my recently purchased 2nd bike. Because they are nice little pedals and you can also grab the bike that way in between rides. Impossible to slip off the pedals.

Pros & Cons

The pedals are easy to attach and are of good quality. The service from mantle is also top notch.

Pros & Cons

I am very satisfied looks good and good quality

Pros & Cons

Smooth rotation. Good grip with normal shoes due to supplied Allen screws. The tension for engaging the SPD pedals is set quite loosely at the factory, so it can be adjusted as desired.

Pros & Cons

difficult to find the right tension, too much...not enough, in short not easy. Robust, but on the other hand the paint comes off and the pedals rust. Practical as a flat pedal for the city!

Pros & Cons

Couple of years cycling without clickers because I didn't want my feet fixed. With climbing and speed you limit that anyway. With these clickers you are quickly attached and detached. So used to it and notice that cycling is much easier.

Pros & Cons

Alles was goed

Many purchases and never disappointed

Pros & Cons

For my bike taf very good use

Pros & Cons

Yes. Perfect.

Pros & Cons

Simple installation and does what it needs to do

Pros & Cons

Quality and practical product

Pros & Cons

Easily assembled

Pros & Cons

For me, the best pedal on the Gravel bike. Although the flat pedal side is relatively small, but still provides good grip. Note that you can use Shimano SPD clipless only with mountain bike shoes.

Pros & Cons

excellent

Pros & Cons

Pedals are about the same color as my Koga F3 as if it was originally equipped that way.

Pros & Cons

Good construction

Pros & Cons

Excellent product, fully satisfied

Pros & Cons

Order shipped quickly, careful packaging. The product is as described. Pedals with a nice design, very easy to assemble. To be seen in use but for the moment very satisfied with this purchase.

Pros & Cons

Product conforms to my expectations, works well, one little pedal stroke to choose the side with the clip.

Pros & Cons

Positive

Pros & Cons

This product meets my expectations with its wide support zone when I'm wearing sneakers.

Pros & Cons

Great pedal for not too much money

Pros & Cons

Very satisfied with my purchase. Delivery was fast. The pedals are of good quality and perfect for Gravel use in SPD and "relax" use with the side without cleats. Just perfect.

Pros & Cons

With these pedals, I've regained the confidence in the cleats that I'd lost during a crash. The mixed pedals allow me to launch and then put on the cleats, or switch back to the flat pedals when approaching a danger zone.

Pros & Cons

Tailored to my needs as a runner/cyclist.

Pros & Cons

The product is exactly what I expected.

Pros & Cons

Pedals click in and out smoothly, also look nice. Personally, the maximum force for engaging and disengaging could be higher. Unfortunately the left pedal broke after 300km! Without having had rain. Given the predominantly excellent reviews perhaps a Monday morning model ... Hope this is an exception....

Pros & Cons

This is my first experience with wedge pedals and I'm very satisfied with the product. I have no regrets about the purchase and the delivery was fast and careful.

Pros & Cons

Perfect for my use! The wedge is easy to adjust and clips well. And I can walk around in my sneakers without always having to take out my mountain bike shoes!

Pros & Cons

First pedalen

Pros & Cons

very good pedal consisting of sturdy material.

Pros & Cons

Right size under your shoe. Click pedal is good and if you don't want to cycle fixed you have good grip because of the pins. (It is a tinkering job to put them in yourself.)

Pros & Cons

After installation some practice, but this learns very quickly and easily. After first ride made small adjustment on "sensitivity" of disconnection. Now goes better and more natural.

Pros & Cons

Excellent pedals for MTB and touring.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

With these combo pedals, my bike can also be used for relaxed riding on normal shoes

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

fine shimano equipment.

In use on (cross) hybrid bike to replace Shimano M324. Better grip of pins on running shoes but pedals a bit narrow for size 44.5. Easy click in and out due to lighter spring in combination with multi-release plates. For city/road use fine but for gravel/MTB use the black plates. These have less problems with unwanted clicks.

Pros & Cons

Pedals are very good, both the regular side and the click side are perceived as good and easy!

Very nice pedals with lots of grip and you can also ride fine with the spd. Really great for the gravel bike

Pros & Cons

These pedals work well, with the clip section sitting facing the back of the bike for easy clipping in. Great as it means I don’t have to keep changing pedals depending on what I’m using the bike for.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Convenient that they can be used with clickers as well as normal shoes. Easy to click in and out by the way.

Pros & Cons

Very good quality product. Allows dual use, with or without wedges. The surface is large enough for relaxing use, and the pins are sufficiently adjustable.

Pros & Cons

Very good pedals to use with both SPD cleats for serious training sessions and regular shoes for errands and quick rides around town. Great build quality, and they look great too! Had (unfortunately) a bike crash last week and the left pedal absorbed most of the damage, only some scuffing on the outer side and still perfectly functional.

Pros & Cons

I have experience with the SPD combination pedals SPD from Shimano as I ride with both regular shoes and SPD clik pedals. This pedal always stays oriented with the right side up. My other PD-M324 SPD Combi Pedals always turned with the click side up which is annoying when riding with regular shoes. Nice color just be careful they are not black pedals as the picture seems to indicate.

Pros & Cons

Pedals quite efficient also on the flat pedal side enough grip due to the spikes, this even though they are not very big.

Pros & Cons

Double-sided, automatic. Perfect for dangerous places where I don't feel confident!

beautiful appearance , easy to engage and stable platform.

The screw in pins give excellent grip on the flat side of the pedal even in the wet.

Pros & Cons

Nicely designed with one side with flats and other with SPD. Had never used a set of SPD and felt a bit unsure to switch directly to an SPD or Look the. Already rode 3 times with those and fingers crossed no accident. Only it is bit tricky to switch in because there is only on one side the cleat, so not for the real experienced rider.

Pros & Cons

This is the pedal you want if you like to start in the world of clipless. The SPD is flawless, and the flat platform is the perfect size, and with the pins it offers excellent grip. It adds the flexibility of the flat platform for commuting days with the SPD clips for the long rides. The pedals are dark gray, in my opinion they would be better in a black colour.

Pros & Cons

amazing pedals!

Comfortable clip ins and suitable for trainers

Compared to my previous spd pedal, this one fits nicely on the shoe and I have a feeling of more control.

I bought the Shimano PD-EH500 as an upgrade to my Shimano PD-M324 pedals. The M324s were my first venture into the world of clipless pedals and I thought that they were great. I seriously considered another set for my new bike, but I opted for the EH500s instead and I'm glad I did. They are so easy to clip in and out of, you don't have to think about it. As for the platform side, it is very supportive and provides good feel when not clipped I'm, this is for both clip shoes and street shoes. The delivery from Mantel was very quick and the price was the best I could find for new pedals.

Pros & Cons

Flat on one side clip less on the other side. Light sturdy and well made

I have six bikes, (typical bloke) and all are equiped with Shimano A530 pedals so you can ride clipped or unclipped. However, when off road on either of my cross bikes or my E MTB, the A530 does not give safe un clipped grip, particularly in the wet. These Shimano PD-EH500 are a complete game changer and the un clipped grip is massively improved, even in the wet. There are times off road when I feel safer un clipped but still want to feel secure on the pedal platform and these pedals with screw in pins are a great improvement. I'm planning to improve the un clipped grip with new shoes that have a flatter sole to make better contact with the pins when funds (read Wife) allow but I do feel much safer with these pedals so far. Finally, the price from Mantel and the speed of delivery were first class. Very happy customer guys.

Pros & Cons

Good pedals. Had a previous version of these. Much improved now with studs on one side. Highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

Faultless. Pedals excellent, gives me the versatility i require. Price best I could find and I did a lot of shopping around. Service and time to arrive was really quick. I would really recommend Mantel.

Pros & Cons

Very pleased with pedal, good choice to ease into spd

I can use with cleats for serious rides or crocs for nipping to the shops. Beautifully balanced pedal too. Couldn't be happier.

Pros & Cons

Excellent item. Can be used with cleats or as flat pedals. Perfect for commute and weekend rides. No issue of slipping.

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

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

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.

Pros & Cons

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.

Pros & Cons

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

Lovely pedals, great product and fast delivery

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

Fantastic product at a great price with truly exemplary service. Fab stuff.

Pros & Cons

We’ll made pedals, as you would expect and great service from Mantel.

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