Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Thanks to its low spring tension this pedal is very suitable for novice cyclists who want easy to unclip pedals.
- The low spring tension makes it easy to clip in and out of the pedal.
- The large surface area facilitates the smooth transfer of power and reduces the risk getting sore feet.
- The low spring tension makes this pedal less suited for competitions and performance-oriented cycling, as they are not secure enough during a full sprint. This should not be a problem during tour rides however.
- This pedal is relatively heavy.

Very happy with it!

Good value for money, fast delivery and also quick to assemble myself. For me the first click pedals as a beginner and I really like them. They are easy to use and because you can adjust the spring tension yourself, it is not scary to (learn to) cycle with them.
