Strengths: Light
Cheap
Well made and well finished
Work well
Appear to be strong
Use Shimano cleats - get cleats anywhere.
Open design for mud shedding.Weaknesses: None found as yet!Bottom Line: I wanted some cheap but respectable pedals for my XC hardtail, and found these on Torpedo7.com for a paltry $60 AUD. This is a bargain for light, fully featured pedals - especially ones with such a nice finish.
They are very well finished, with a pleasing goldish grey colour and polished axles. There is an alloy threaded cap (not plastic!) to access the axle nut and outside bearing, making rebuilding easy. The axle has a nice, deep Allen key hole - no provision for a pedal wrench.
They are a very open design. So they should work well in mud. As usual, they offer adjustable tension, a big advantage over Eggbeaters IMO. They come with Exustars' cleats but Shimanos work.
I've banged a few rocks and it hasn't worried them at all.
