Shimano XTR PD-M970 Pedals Pedal
Product DescriptionThe proven 970 pedal was already legendary. Now Shimano has tricked it out, and for the first time, their best MTB pedal carries the XTR label. Same basic design as before, but now saves about 2 ounces over the old design (for rotating weight, that's huge!)

from Toronto, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: June 5, 2009 Strengths: . Weaknesses: Spring tension bolt which on the 970's has been reduced to a 2 or 2.5mm allen key from a larger size on the 959s and other SPDs strips very easily at the tool interface once you start to tighten them up half way even when they were lubed up with penetrating oil. So if they are getting loose on you be really careful, use a HQ new allen key and soak the part. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: . Bike Setup: .
