Diane W. Date Reviewed: April 27, 2012 Strengths: I love these pedals! The push off foot is a little harder to get clipped in initially but once you get going and let gravity help, they clip in fine. I found when putting pressure on the other foot when pedaling clips me in. I do climbing on regular basis and have not had any issues with slower speeds going uphill and staying clipped in. Clipping out is also a breeze. No knee problems at all! Weaknesses: Haven't found any! Bottom Line:

a Cross Country Rider Date Reviewed: March 11, 2012 Strengths: Low maintenance , knee friendly , easy clip In/Out , Light , durable , Weaknesses: Have to use with shoes that has enough rubber thickness. Can't say price 'cause I have them for so long but yeah , cleats are expensive though and I like to change them every two years. Perfect for extra snow/mud , the fact that it clip while moving forward pushes the mud in the back and doesn't "compress" it like "push on it" systems.

from Germany Date Reviewed: November 12, 2011 Strengths: None that I can think of. I mean, for Christ's sake, the casing is made of plastic. Weaknesses: Where do I even begin... Cleats would not stay engaged. Just yesterday I went on a slow ride with a buddy of mine, I must have came unclipped several dozen times. The worst is while trying to get uphill when your shoe comes unclipped. It's just about enough to make you lose control, not to mention losing forward momentum...by that point you're pretty much forced to dismount and walk the rest of the way up the hill.

from Saint Germain, WI Date Reviewed: October 29, 2011 Strengths: Plenty of float and simplicity Weaknesses: Not very durable, a cleat ripped off with just three months use. Also the clip in is problematic and not positve. I use speedplays on my road bike and like them. Used three years before having to replace bearings. I think these pedals were released to production prematurely. Just spent $40.00 + shipping for new housing with cleat. These things may be O.K. for fire road cruising however they are not up to the task for technical mountain bike riding or racing.

from Pescadero, Ca, USA Date Reviewed: August 6, 2010 Strengths: Very light well made Weaknesses: Pedal is useless for a good circular motion, shoe comes out when pushing forward. Worthless in general can't recommend it to anyone when so many useful pedals are out there. I'd rather go back to toe clips, pedals are are a fraud.
