Shimano PD-M520 SPD Pedals - Silver

I recommend this product

Really great pedals, easy to fit and adjust

I recommend this product

Fitted to our tandem to replace similar ones that have lasted for years. Solid construction and great for all weathers. These have a better seal so should keep grit, water and muck out.

I recommend this product

These are great double sided SPD pedals, which I now have on 4 of my bikes.

Very smooth out of the box. Because you can see grease around the axle seal, I suspected that they aren't sealed cartridge bearings as described, so I took one apart to find they are loose balls (internally the same as my 20 year old M525 pedals). However, they are easy to grease as you simply unscrew the axle assembly, put in some fresh grease and do them up again slowly. This squeezes old grease out. You will need the Shimano tool TL-PD40 (not supplied) which in turn needs a 36mm spanner. The adjusting nut and locknut are easily tightened with a couple of spanners. The pedals come with instructions how to fit the cleats and adjust the pedal clips. The pedals are very open, hard to see how they could be any more minimalist. The body finish is bare metal which should not show the inevitable scratches, but they are also available in black for some reason £10 more. The cleats supplied are SM-SH51 single release.

I have five pairs of these pedals, used on my utility / training bikes and a tandem. (Look pedals on my racing bikes). I noticed that one was loose on the spindle late on 28 December, no complaints after three years’ hard use. I ordered a pair around 2100 on that day and they arrived in the morning post on 30 December. Excellent service in my view.

Although regarded by Shimano as budget pedals I find them wellmade and excellent value for money. SJS’ price is very competitive and the inclusion of a set of cleats left me wondering why I paid £750 for such two months ago. Next time I will just order more pedals!

SJS delivered promptly and my first experiance with this type of peddle having used clips and straps on road bikes for decades. They seem well made and very good value. Although not the lightest peddles around I found them easy to use and efficient. Easy double sided entry, and even more important, easy release. For me, the miniscule weight saving on a more expensive pair doesnt add up.

I'm new to SPD's and have fitted these to my road bike which i commute on. easy to set up and use and because they clip in on both sides there's no need to worry about flipping them to clip in. Excellent for the novice, commuter or those looking for SPD's at a sensible price

I'm on my second pair of these now, so they must be okay! So far as I know these are the cheapest SPDs on the market, and never having used more expensive ones I don't know what more they could provide. You can't knock the value for money, though, especially considering that they come with a pair of cleats! I did notice that they were easier to clip into when they were brand new and seemed to 'tighten up' a bit with use, but I never adjusted them so it may just be me.

I bought these pedals for my road bike and they have performed flawlessly, even riding from London to Paris. Never had a problem with either entry or release. Easy to clip into whilst riding. Fantastic value at this price. I cant think of anything bad to say about them.
