Strengths: Light. Strong. Easy to clip in and out of.
Very inexpensive.Weaknesses: None Yet.Bottom Line: I switched from other clip in pedals because of the lighter weight. I'm glad I did.
I have found these to be extremely easy to get in and out of. Any side of the pedal will engage quite easily. There are two clip-in angles that you can choose from for clipping in. One is easier than the other. Instructions are included for this.
I haven't experienced any of the negative issues yet that others have posted on the reviews.
My shoe bottoms did need a little trimming to get them perfect. I won't issue a negative for this because it might be the shoes and not the pedals.

Strengths: Looks very nice, weight 270grams a pairWeaknesses: First thing to notice is that is possible to clip in regardless of the pedal position. All most true... two sides work great (the ones when the foot push back the spring), when the spring has to push forward it is far more difficult. In the beginning you think it will take you to get used with that... nop... you don't..Bottom Line: 100grams less(compare to PD-M520) does not worth the clipping frustration....

Strengths: Killer Looks, MAde by Crank BrosWeaknesses: Cleat loosened laterally on the spindle. Weight.Bottom Line: These pedals were just horrible for me. Along with the warranty issue my feel kept slipping out of the pedals and once they were out it was near impossible to for me to find where to get back in them. I have heard the higher grade pedals are easier to get back into, but I am unwilling to try another set when my old SPD's work vey well. I am giving not the pedals, but Crank Bros 4 chillis for their great customer service, not my ebay seller who never answered any of my requests. Thanks to customer service Crank Bros sticker will remain on my car!!!

Strengths: Light, look nice, pretty easy to clip inWeaknesses: Easy to slip out without feeling the edge of the float. I smashed the wing on the right pedal so now i can only enter on two sides. Im thinking about trying some Shimanos.Bottom Line: Decent pedal could be stronger and more structured. I'm a little angry they bend so easily though.

Strengths: The clip design is simple engineering marvelWeaknesses: None so far, first ride was this AMBottom Line: Everyone should buy these pedals, if you are new to clipless pedals (like me) and reading this, don't be afraid of the minimalist nature of these pedals, you can still pedal on them clipped out even with just the little stick. I guess depending on what shoe you have. I have a shimano mountain shoe and it works pretty good clipped out too. Instant confidence, these pedals are amazing. I honestly don't notice a huge difference clipped out with these than the mallet pedals I was using before these. Well worth the $49.00

Strengths: lightweight. Secure. Nice degree of float. Price.Weaknesses: Harder to get clipped in than my SPD pedals.Bottom Line: For $39 these pedals are a great deal. Maybe the best $/gram upgrade you can make on your bike if you are using SPD or other heavier pedals. I wanted to try these before buying a Ti set of egg beaters to see if I liked them...and I do. The egg beater 1 is all steel and they are still lighter than Shimano's 540 SPD...and much cheaper. Can't wait to try the even lighter 2 or 4 Ti models. These are good for the XC racer wanting a secure, lightweight pedal but on a limited budget.
