Strengths: Open design, caged, easy to adjust tensionWeaknesses: Axle designBottom Line: This set of pedals is a great value. They have an open design at a low price point, and a sturdy cage. The platform less stable clipped out than the freeride style cage, but just as sturdy; it has survived a number of rock strikes and slides on pavement/rock. I find the tension easier to adjust than the old style SPD platforms, where the cage often got in the way. The float on these pedals is also a little free-er than I would like, compared to older SPD interface. Supposedly the higher level trail pedals have a tighter clipped-in feeling.
I am not a big fan of the axle design on the lower-end Shimano, as the seals weep grease and pick up the gritty/sandy top soil prevalent in the area. The only remedy that has worked for me is to clean the seal regularly, which often forces grit past and into the axle assembly. Owning the dollar-and-change service tool is a must for these pedals.
Overall, these pedals, with regular service, show no reason that they will not last for as long as you need them to.
