Strengths: Great for commutingWeaknesses: Ball bearingsBottom Line: I have used these pedals for barely a year (around 4,000 km). Notwithstanding that they are heavy as stones, their ball bearing system is really poor. With just a year of mainly commuting use (some rain, ice and snow), the ball bearings were loosen and damaged heavily the body of the axle.
I have purchased new pedals with sealed ball bearings Fully automatic (Shimano M540).
I don't like the BB system used by Shimano in this series (same as M520)

Strengths: Tough & durable...work wellWeaknesses: Flat side will get dull after a yr or so.Bottom Line: I like using the half flat & half clipped design when riding trails with various skinnies & log piles.Whenever I feel unsure about a tough trail feature I use the flat side....simple as that.You want to gain more power for the uphills or flat ground than switch to the clipped in side...Ive had mine for 2yrs now with no problems except that the teeth on the flat side are getting really dull.I would def recommend them to anyone who isnt comfortable being totally clipped in 100% of the time

Strengths: Durable, offer a lot of shoe choicesWeaknesses: HeavyBottom Line: Good pedals overall. They are a bit expensive, but can't be beat for versatility. I do not experience the problem with wondering which side will be up. When I take my foot off, the spd side always faces backwards and the platform side faces forwards. They are tough too. I used them for a couple of months on a road bike before putting them on my mountain bike. I was involved in an accident with a car the first day I had them on my road bike, laid the bike down on the drive side pedal at 25+mph, and the only thing bad that happened to it was scratches. Also, he platform is really secure. The adjustable tension works great too. I could get it tight enough to not worry about coming unclipped on my road bike and loose enough that I can instantly pop out on my mountain bike. I will definitely buy another set if these ever give out. Four flamin' chilis because of the weight.

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.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 beatingWeaknesses: none other than will destroy your shin if it slips.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.

Strengths: Dual sidedWeaknesses: Bearings created a clanking sound, evolved to a knocking, then pedal had a jerking rough spot on each revolution of the crank. Very disappointed!!!! Replaced after 6 monthsBottom Line: Do not buy! Bearing should not give out.
