Strengths:    Solid lock in

Weaknesses:    Rough feel, clogs easily, hard release

Bottom Line:   
They are coming off. After riding this last weekend and not being able to get out 3 times they are heading to the scrap yard. These have felt rough getting in and out since day 1. Mud packs in easily & quickly. I've tried them with 3 different sets of cleats, cleaned & lubed them, reset the adjustments, nothing makes them better. My old worn out CODAs function better than these. And no I won't be getting more SPDs from Shimano - have ordered a set of Time Atac XC pedals. Time to move on to better products.

Strengths:    Works fine in dry conditions, is not too expensive

Weaknesses:    Easily becomes clogged with mud and dirt, reliability is an issue

Bottom Line:   
Fine pedals for somebody who rides in mainly dry conditions. Reasonably good value for what they are. They would be completely unsuitable for anyone who regularly rides wet and muddy conditions - they don't come out when you want them to and wont clip in either. i know next time il be buying some eggbeaters
