Strengths:
Price, durability, easy in and out
Weaknesses:
Terrible in the mud
Similar Products Used:
toe clips, various shimano spd
Bike Setup:
Stock 2002 Specialized Rockhopper
Bottom Line:
These are a great pedal in dry, no mud conditions. Work great on my 12 km ride to work through the urban jungle. Just don't make it on muddy trails. Cleats get mudded up, clips get mudded up, can't clip in or if you have to force it in, it is difficult to release when things get hairy. Great value for use on the street or on dry trails. I'm looking for something else to use on the trails around here which are generally wet and muddy. Give it 2 chilis overall just because of difficulties in the mud.

Strengths:
Pretty light, reasonable price, SPD compatible
Weaknesses:
None so far
Similar Products Used:
specialized stock pedals
Bike Setup:
'99 Stumpjumper Pro Hardtail
Bottom Line:
I broke the specialized pedals that were stock on my bike after 2+ years, and needed SPD replacements for a reasonable price/weight. These fit the bill. No complaints so far, they are working great, are very similar to the specialized stock pedals I was using and I got them on sale so I'm pretty happy with my decision.
