I haven't had any problems throughout my hard rides. They aren't as nice looking as the Shimano pedals with the same design, but were a bit cheaper. Nice clip in and out and are adjustable to fit your needs as far as tightness goes.

Strengths:
Inexpensive Very easy to clip/unclip even in sticky mud No unwanted release so far
Weaknesses:
Cone/cup bearing not very easy to adjust (you pay for what you get regarding this)
Similar Products Used:
Cheapo old-SPD-like (do not stand any mud), road Time TXT Equipe Pro Mg (much harder to clip/unclip but that's road stuff anyway)
Bottom Line:
A real bargain! The new SPD-520-like design remain very efficient in mud, a very good surprise compared to the former flat SPD design (515-like). A bit of angular freedom is allowed, makes good compromise between easiness to unclip & riding comfort.
OTOH, bearings were a bit too tight out of the box, adjusting bolts are not very neatly made with screw and counter-screw both of the same size and recessed in the pedal - managed to do it anyway, and so far so good.

On my last right one of the spring “fingers” came off of the tension plate/screw and now that side holds the clip very lightly. I attempted to fix the problem but could not get the spring back on the plate. Since I only paid <40 bucks for them I opted to buy new. They worked great for about a season.

Bottom Line:
I loved these pedals for the two years that they lasted, but recently lost one of the tension adjuster screws on a ride and can’t seem to find anyone with the parts. As stated in the weaknesses, Ritchie’s email customer support has been completely unresponsive thus far. I have emailed them several times over the past several weeks, inquiring as to where I can buy the parts… with no reply.
If you can find a pair at a decent price, they are definitely nice pedals (while they last). However, I’ve since given up on Ritchie and moved on to a brand with a better reputation for customer service. If I could have found the parts, I’d definitely still be riding with them.

I loosened them up to re-grease them and lost a couple of bearings only to find out that I couldn't get replacement bearings anywhere. I finally found the size I needed at a local hobby shop. It seems the seal was faulty and I voided the warranty by opening them up. I think the problem was just an odd thing that happened and not something common to the product though. These are great x-country pedals and work great in all kinds of conditions.

Great pedal for the money. On my first ride, I left one foot in the pedal as I half-walked the bike over a log. Pedal hit the log, my body weight compressed the spring, and part of the pedal shot off into the undergrowth, never to be seen again. Had to ride half the McKenzie River Trail with 1.5 pedals.
Ritchey sent replacement part fast, no hassles. Took about two minutes to install. Said they hadn't heard of anyone else having that problem. So if you're hobbling over a log, be intelligent and get all the way off the bike and the pedals will be fine.
I like these way better than the pedals they replaced, they're great in mud, and we have a lot of that around here.
5 value chiles for great price and customer service. 4 chiles overall because they are a bit heavy, gotta spend more if you want less weight. For what they are, they rock!

As far as performance goes, these are just as good as pedals that cost three times more. The only thing is that they are not "cross-country race weight." But, most us of are not entering pro level races where every little bit counts. Some people realy like the Egg Beaters, but they have a lot of float (feels like you are standing in a fresh pile of dog crap - squishy). If you don't have really bad knees and like the feeling of being firmly locked into your pedal, you'll like these.
These are just a great all 'round performer for a great price. My only suggestion for improvement is to give them an adjustment for float.

I bought these pedals because they were on sale for only $30, and I didn't want to spend too much money. I had them on my bike for about two months before I was enticed into buying the Mallets. They were super easy to get into and out of. The only problem, for me, was that my shoe was squishing over the top. A platform type pedal gives me more support and leverage. The Ritcheys are now on my girlfriend's bike, and she loves them. They are her first clipless pedals. She was afraid of clipless until trying these out. Now she is sold.
I would say these pedals are excellent for a beginner or someone who is just looking for a cheap replacement set. You can't go wrong with the Ritcheys.

While these pedals did shed mud well, better than the Shimano's that I had on the bike, I did not enjoy these pedals. Clipping in was not always smooth and came out way to easy no matter how much I cranked down on the adjustment. Some of it may be my fault... I tend to move my foot/heel around when I ride and whenever I moved a little, I would pop out. Going uphill this was extrememly aggrevating... Eggbeaters solved all that but thats another review... If you are very stationary with your feet, you may find these to be great... if you move around a little for comfort or to avoid rocks and roots, these will not suit you.

The pedals have been great for ease of entry and release. No time needed to get used to them. Have worked great in the mud. However, the release springs slipped off the adjuster on one side of left pedal while riding, when pulling the foot out of the pedal. It was repairable with no damage to pedal, but there is a design weakness which allows the springs to slip off the adjuster mechanism. If the springs slip off, it is possible for the adjuster to fall off the pedal and get lost on the trail. Then the pedal couldn't be repaired without getting new parts. I see in another review, a rider had the same problem from hitting a rock. Overall, I'm happy with the pedals.

These pedals were smoother out of the box than my V2's were after months of continuous riding. As one review stated they might even be too easy to clip in/out of. Just adjust them according to your preference. The mud clearing design has never gotten gunked up on me and trust me, I know about mud. In South Louisiana, that is all we have around here. Other MTBer's go trail riding, here we go swamp riding. Another strentgth is how they hold up cosmetically. The V2's were a painted finish and got ugly real quickly. This design sheds mud and stays pretty!

Bottom Line:
Less than 50% of the price of a 959. Does not gum up with mud the way traditional SPD pedals do. Releases and re-engages much more consistently and easily. I used these through 3 days and over 50 miles of extremely muddy conditions, and didn't have the stiction problems I used to with my old SPD-type pedals. The retension spring was set way too loose from the factory, so I had to tighten them down 6 turns from full soft.
The cleat and pedal designs are manufactured under license from Shimano, so they probably used the same tooling to make the major components. I tried them with both the standard release cleat and Shimano's multi-release cleats, and feel is the same as with Shimano pedals. I personally prefer the multi-release cleats so I can unclip whenever I want and not be trapped with a falling bike.

Replaced my flats on the Pipeline with these for XC/light freeriding. They function fine, nice easy in/out and mud clearance. Never had an issue getting out when I need to. However, a couple of what I consider "light" rock strikes really did them in. In one case the entire adjusting mechanism came out making half the pedal unusable. In the another the tension springs stretched past their elastic limit making the pedal "loose" so I had to stop and crank in the adjuster to compensate. Perhaps these are extreme cases, but rocks up here are a fact of life. If Ritchey had some sort of positive stop to keep the part that swivels from traveling farther then the spring can handle these pedals would be great.
