Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$80.00
Strengths:
Very reliable and tough. I've taken several bad spills with them and they've come through. I accidentally stripped my crank-arm by over tightening these pedals and the threads on them were untouched. The bearings and cup can be serviced.
Weaknesses:
Heavy and they aren't balanced to favor the SPD or platform side so sometimes it is a puzzle to make sure the correct side is up when you want it to be. It is trivial to add a small weight to bias them. Additionally, the SPD side is very slippery so make sure you get your footing right the first time.
Bike Setup:
Trek Multitrack 7000 Hybrid
Bottom Line:
I'm very happy with these pedals and I will pick up another pair if these fail for any reason. They are also occasionally available on sale for $60! Remember to get reflectors as well if they are required in your area.

Strengths:
Solid grip, platform/clip combo, takes a beating
Weaknesses:
none other than will destroy your shin if it slips.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Jamis Dakar XCR
Bottom Line:
Very limited experience with pedals, went from plastic flats to these. I bought them because I sometimes have to bike in my work boots and I wanted the option of a platform. This pedal is perfect. The platform side really digs in (almost to the point of cutting soft soled shoes) and the clips hold tight. No problems getting in or out (after the first few days) and they can certainly take a pounding. I've driven them into rocks and clipped trees, these will take it.
Buying a pair for my wife right now.
