Reviews over the

Shimano PD-EH500

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

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

Easily assembled

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

Great pedal for not too much money

Pros & Cons

Excellent pedals for MTB and touring.

Pros & Cons

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
