Strengths: Cheap! They work fine.Weaknesses: Fit and finish not as good as comparable Shimano. Heavy.Bottom Line: As seems to be the issue with a lot of Coda products, quality is quite variable. Some are top notch, others are generic crap. This is probably more the latter, and the current ebay price reflects this. Brand new, there was some grittiness in the bearings, but once on the bike this was not noticeable. The fit and finish were noticeably worse than my Shimano pedals. Cleat compatibility is good, and my SPD cleats work fine. They have been working fine for on street use, and I don't intend to use them off road. For what I use them for, I don't have any real complaints. They clip in and out fine, and have a good firm feel when clipped in. They are on my winter bike, so I wanted a cheap and disposable set, and that is what I got. They are quite a bit heavier than the quoted weight, but again, not really and issue for my use.

Strengths: good looking, not overly heavy, clip in and out pretty nice, better than wellgo platform crap that came stock, better pedaling effiencyWeaknesses: sometimes when you purposely try not to clip in they do anyway, don't shed mud that great, also, if you aren't used to clipless pedals sometimes you forget your clipped in.to make a long story short, ouch!Bottom Line: if you are in need of a pair of clipless pedals these are good and inexpensive.they aren't even close to the quality of time's but for hundreds of dollars less, i'd take them anyday. and if you hav doubts about whether to switch to clipless, i suggest it. these really crappy, plastic wellgo platforms came stock on my bike and they sucked! your feet slip if they are wet, and you don't get half of the effiency as with clipless pedals

Strengths: Easy to release, Easy to get into, low profile, paint doesn't come off very easily.Weaknesses: Pretty weak in the muddy conditions, Not mud shedding at allBottom Line: One of the few Coda pieces on the bike that I'm satisfied with. I won't replace these pedals until I wear them out. It took a little while to get used to the cleat and pedal, but now it's not a problem at all to click in. The only weakness is the mud, and here in S. Florida we get a lot of it on the trails. But, I have tried other clipless in muddy situations, so I have nothing to compare it with. Good pedal - Coda you did something right!

Strengths: Easy to clip out of, low profile, look niceWeaknesses: Looks can be decieving, impossible to get in sometimesBottom Line: I haven't had a wreck yet because I couldn't get out of 'em, but have gone over the handle bars because I couldn't get in 'em and looked down just enough to not see a huge root in front of me. Not for the beginner and not for first timers. We'll see, maybe I just have to get used to them. I will update soon.

Strengths: ZilchWeaknesses: Freaking impossible to clip inBottom Line: CODA sucks! There is nothing worse then to see your buddies race away as you fiddle with trying to get clipped in. Just when you think your in...PSYCH...you are only half clipped in, and still have zero control of the bike. I have to loosen these as much as possible to even have a prayer of getting in, then my foot basically falls out. I would much rather concentrate on the trail then my feet. UPGRADE IMMEDIATELY!

Bottom Line: Not the greatest pedal out there, but for the price - I have few problems. Don't do great in mud, but they do the job and they do it just fine.

Strengths: Solid construction, excellent feelWeaknesses: a bit heavy, they don't shed mud the bestBottom Line: This is the one CODA part that I like. These pedals are with out a doubt the most solid feeling pedals I've ever used. Great clip in and out feel. They never release prematurely, and they are easy to get into. They are a touch on the hefty side and they don't shed mud like Time but as far as over all feel is concerned, they are great. This is the one CODA party that is staying.

Strengths: - Came with the bike, so I guess cheap???
- Easy to get out of
- At least someone's thoughtful & it comes with Wellgo platform clip-ins :-(Weaknesses: - You try getting in!
- Foot slides around in pedalBottom Line: Stupid pedal - Wellgo sells them for nothing . . . & don't work all that well. I need to set the spring tension down to nothing (which means really really fast release) but if you set it tighter you can never clip in! I can see how it works OK on the road where clipping in & clipping out isn't a major issue but on the dirt . . . grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Anyway, as a first clipless it isn't that bad. I just don't think I have enough confidence to use them on the dirt - esp on singletracks as I can't really control the bike without clipping in & it won't clip in! Those Wellgo platform clip-ons are really attractive right now!

Strengths: Smaller than the old school boats I used to have.Weaknesses: TOO EASY TO CLIP OUT OF! When doing jumps watch out, your foot comes out whenn you don't want it to. Doesn't give a "secure" feeling,(foot slides around alot in the pedal).Bottom Line: I just got these from a trade which was a good one. Just save up and get Shimano 858's please.

Strengths: light???Weaknesses: clipping in is difficultBottom Line: Here's an update:
These suck so bad. Half the time I don't clip in right. I get only half the cleat in and when I want to twist out, I'm stuck for a few seconds. Or, they are hard to connect with and don't clip in at all. They seem kind of dangerous. I've learned to manage them until they wear out so I can buy a decent set of pedals. If you are in the position to get different pedals, DO IT!!! These rot....

Strengths: Not much they came with the bikeWeaknesses: Clip out to easy any dirt in them and they are hard to clip in.Bottom Line: They are not the best pedals in the world. They came with the bike. I will get ride of them when I get the money. To bad the put them on a good bike it just takes away from the bike. I don't know what they cost but I bet you could get better one's for the same price.

Strengths: NoneWeaknesses: EverythingBottom Line: Cannondale should stick to building bikes and leave the pedals to Time and Shimano. Why do the 2000 high end C'dale models come with no pedals? Spend the money and buy Time. They are the best out there. Read the reviews.
