Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle Review

Avenir Ultralight Pedals with Toe Clips and Straps, Black/Silver, 9/16 Inch Axle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are pretty nice. They aren't too heavy, and they fit my size 13's well. The straps work as well as any other. If you can't use a dedicated clip-in pedal these will work fine. They do have an aggressive MTB style pedal, so if you use clunky trail/hiking shoes you may experience some difficulty disengaging your foot from the pedal. I suggest starting out with the strap somewhat loose and progressively tightening them to where you feel comfortable. By the way, the pedals actually say Wellgo on the side.

Shimano PD-M424 SPD Pedal (9/16-Inch, Black/Silver) Review

Shimano PD-M424 SPD Pedal (9/16-Inch, Black/Silver)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree with a couple of other reviews. These are called dual use and it says you don't need to clip in. This is true. I agree that it is not as comfortable to ride when you aren't clipped in (I actually use a softer shoe when I don't clip in and I'm just running a quick errand). These are heavy but I don't notice that on my mountain bike.
I like being able to clip in on both sides so I can just step on my pedals and go and if you are like me then this is probably for you. If you don't mind making sure the pedal is on the proper side then you might be happier with a different pedal.
I find it MUCH easier to unclip by turning my heel in and have to adjust the pedals nearly as loose as possible.

Delta Bicycle Strapless Toe Clips Review

Delta Bicycle Strapless Toe Clips
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ride my bike to work. It's an eight mile ride so I don't change clothes, I just bike in with whatever I'm wearing to the office. I wear dress shoes and these clips really allow me climb hills without scuffing or wearing out my nice shoes. I find that I'm also able step out of these at a red light with ease.
They only took a few minutes to attach to my pedals. I've been using them for about eight weeks with no trouble.
When I'm really climbing, I can feel the flex of the plastic. This doesn't present a problem for me, but I suspect a serious mountain biker would probably want something more rigid. But for riding to work; these are a great fit.

Shimano SH56 SPD Cleat Set Review

Shimano SH56 SPD Cleat Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these cleats for a new pair of MTB shoes. They are Shimano brand for SPD pedals. This is the same Shimano SPD cleat that is sold at my local cycle shop, but I paid about $10 less by buying from Amazon.com.

The Shimano SH56 SPD Cleat Set is a multi-direction release version of the SH51 cleat. These cleats allow greater ease of exit than the SH51 cleat. This makes them the ideal choice for everyone from aggressive trail riders who want to be able to release in a hurry to novice clipless riders who want an easier release every time.Product Features

MKS Lambda Platform Pedal Review

MKS Lambda Platform Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These pedals were apparently made by MKS with design input from Rivendell Bicycle Works, the traditional/retro-grouch bicycle shop and boutique bike maker run by Grant Petersen. Rivendell calls these the Grip King Pedals, and as near as I can tell these are the same product.
Go to rivbike.com to read Grant's rant about clipless pedals, which he calls the "great shoe ruse," and his impassioned argument about why it's silly to use clipless pedals/cleats on bicycles (unless you're racing).
I'm not ready to drink the Rivendell Kool-Aid and give up my clipless pedals, but these MKS Lambda pedals are really a nice change of pace. They allow you to ride a bike with "normal" shoes, but they still give you enough grip that your feed won't slide around. Because of the wide platform surfaces, they also avoid pressure on your feet and help you avoid foot pain or "hot spots" which sometimes can occur when riding bikes w/cleats.
They appear to be well made, and are not as heavy as you might think from looking at the photo (though certainly not as light as good clipless pedals).

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm new to the sport of Mtn Biking and bought these for my Specialized Hard Rock. They are awesome! Easy clip in and you can get out fast (tention is adjustable). They were easy to install and were very compatible with my Specialized shoes. I even bought the plastic clip on pedal covers (to function as normal pedals) so I could do some street riding with my kids.

These Avenir pedals are the best pedal's for riding a commuter bicycle. After using two or three pairs of toe clip pedal's before these, it was like there wasn't a good pair of bicycle pedals. There great for commuting with work shoes and riding on my days off too. John Moreno

This is a great product if you are looking to upgrade your pedals, but don't wan't to spend the money ($100 or more, combined) on the clipless pedals and shoes. Sure, they might not be as effective as the spendier clipless setup, but they're better than nothing at all. Worth it.

Crank Brothers Egg Beater SL Mountain Bike Pedals Review

Crank Brothers Egg Beater SL Mountain Bike Pedals
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I find the engagement of the eggbeater to be quicker than the platform-type pedals. At first, I was concerned about the possibility of 'hot spots' where the bottom of my shoe pressed against the pedal. However, I've since done up to 100 road miles in a day wearing mountain bike shoes and have yet to feel any hot spots. In addition, worn out pedals can be easily rebuilt with an inexpensive rebuild kit.

Ritchey Comp-V4 Mtn clipless pedals, black Review

Ritchey Comp-V4 Mtn clipless pedals, black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The good: Nice open design, tiny, rugged construction, positive clip-in and easy release. Good price if you find them on sale.
The bad: SPINDLES ARE STAKED after assembly to preclude servicing, bearings aren't sealed and turn roughly for lack of retainers to space the balls.
The bottom line: DON'T BUY THESE. They work okay, but after assembling and adjusting the pedals, Ritchey mangles the threads at the end of the spindle so you can't service the bearings. I bought 2 pair of these and all 4 spindles are staked, so it isn't accidental. Ritchey goes out of their way to destroy the value in this otherwise well-made and functional product. I guess they want to sell you a new pair whenever the bearings need repacking. Shame on them!
