Description:The M3 pedals feature a new retention mechanism that allows easier cleat engagement thanks to a wider front port. The low profile forged alloy body makes this a great lightweight pedal. The CrMo axle and sealed bearings provide a long smooth service life. 302g

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | Pricepoint.com | | Strengths: | cheap price | | Weaknesses: | cleats that come with the pedals | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Rockhopper hardtail | | Bottom Line: | These pedals have been getting mixed reviews. Hopefully I can clear up the confusion by saying that there is nothing wrong with the actual pedals themselves. The reason everyone is having problems staying clipped in is because of the cleats that are supplied with them. They are junk! I guess it's just a poor design. I was ready to throw them in the trash minutes after putting them on, but I went down to my local bike shop and they put a set of real Shimano brand SPD cleats on my shoes for about $18. Guess what? The pedals now work perfectly. They're easy to clip in and out of and they won't unclip when you don't want them to. My advice, though, would be to go ahead and get the Crank Brothers Egg Beaters for about the same price as I had to spend on these Wellgos and the cleats to make them work. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Pricepoint | | Strengths: | Price, easy to use, hold shoes well, durable | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano M-520, tima atak XS, Crank Brothers egg | | Bike Setup: | Haro Shift R3 (Upgrades: RockShox Recon 351 frok, Avid Juicy 5 front brake) | | Bottom Line: | I have used them for almost a year now, 2 weeks after I bought the bike I replaced the flat pedals with these pair and did not change back since. I'm very satisfied with the overall performance of them. As I do some hard XC many times they hit rocks and nothing happened but scratches. They need adjusting every once in a while as the adjusting screw tend to loosen a bit. I didn't find any advantages in more expesive pedals I have tried on friend bikes. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Price point | | Strengths: | Price. Easy to clip into. Hold up well for the price | | Weaknesses: | haven't found any yet | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano, crank brothers eggbeaters. | | Bike Setup: | 2005 Rockhopper comp. Vuelta Starlite rims, Hayes hydro disc brakes, WTB Weirwolf tires. Thudbuster seatpost. | | Bottom Line: | I just bought a new pair since the first pair I purchased had a screw that stripped on it. They are great. I abuse my bike. I ride it at least 75 miles a week, and I have the upmost faith in these pedals. I have tried higher end pedals. They are not any better. They break too. These pedals always come with a set of cleats, so I have backups when the ones I use now wear out. Unless you are racing seriously, then you don't need to spend alot to get a good value on pedals, unless you want to be the cool kid on the block. (Look at what I have! Titanium pedals man.) Look at what I have, $150.00 more to spend than you! Buy them, you won't be disapointed. Also, I have kept my old pair in case I need to rebuild. more money to be saved. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | pricepoint | | Strengths: | Cheap, easily servicable, light, clip in and out pretty well when adjusted right | | Weaknesses: | plain inner bearing requires cleaning and re-lubing a couple times a year. When dirty/ dusty, increased metal friction causes it to be more difficult to clip in | | Similar Products Used: | none... my first clipless | | Bike Setup: | 2004 KHS Alite 4000 XC bike with the usual Sram suspects, and a KHS Flite 700 Road bike with 105 bits. | | Bottom Line: | Jeez, these pedals got the bad rap!
I've been using these for going on 2 years now, and beyond relubing the inner bearing with grease every now and then have had to do zero maintanence. I adjusted them when I got them and havent had to tweak anything since. I ride 3 or so times a week, so don't think I dont use them. They always release well. If reasonably clean-ish, they clip in great, if they are very dirty/ dusty, they take a little extra to clip in but it is never really a problem. I'm perfectly happy with them and won't be replacing them until they compeltely die which is looking to be a while away. I use them also on my road bike, just because I like the dual side clip abilty and I can use 1 pair of shoes for both bikes. Havent tried other makes of pedals for comparison, but I cant imagine that others are so fantastically better to warrant the extra price. I certainly know these pedals arent the best thing since sliced bread, but for the price they do the job quite well. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | pricepoint | | Strengths: | Light and cheap | | Weaknesses: | Hard to clip in/out
Wear down in a matter of weeks. | | Bottom Line: | Bought these pedals a month ago and they're a piece of junk. They don't clip in when you need them to. Half the time they pop out when you don't want them to and half the time you have to turn your foot 45 plus degrees to get them out. Not reliable. These pedals are terrible.

$25.00 | | Purchased At: | Price Point | | Strengths: | Easy to clip in and out when adjusted properly. Cheap. | | Weaknesses: | These pedals fall apart fairly easily. The adjustment did not work too well. | | Bike Setup: | 03 Gary Fisher Tassahara | | Bottom Line: | I would suggest finding another pair of clipless pedals, especially if this will be your first pair of clipless. One of the pedals fell apart the first time i used them in the parking lot. I was able to find all the parts and put it back together. When they were working they were really good to me. Cliping in and out were an ease. I used them for four rides before one of the pedals broke again. If you can get these pedals to work for a full season or two they might be worth the money. You would be better off spending more dough for a better set of pedals though. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$40.00 | | Purchased At: | price point | | Strengths: | none | | Bottom Line: | Unit appears to made of cheap materials all around. The screws holding it together strip out very easy. That is bad, because you have to tear it down every time the adjustment screw comes loose from the tiny retaining piece of metal. The pedals are very hard to adjust, because if you adjust it to much they come apart on inside. If they come apart during ride, parts fall out. There is no way to get replacement parts. Best to spend extra money and buy a good set. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 11, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | Price Point | | Strengths: | None. | | Weaknesses: | Everything. | | Similar Products Used: | Shimano SPD-M520, Time Atac Alum. | | Bike Setup: | A light one | | Bottom Line: | I bought these because of their weight and price to replace some 5 yr. old Times. Rode them twice lightly and the "frame" of the right pedal broke and cracked near the spindle and the corner near the clip. I actually drove home with my shoe clipped to the left one because it wouldn't come off even though it was previously adjusted. It took a screwdriver to get the clip out.
I would say their price was a strength but theirs nothing strong about a pedal that lasts 5 hours. POS.
Stay far away and do not consider these. Just plan on spending more and get M520's or M540's. Egg Beater chromo's are only $50 now - spend the extra $20 and ride. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$30.00 | | Purchased At: | pricepoint | | Strengths: | Easy and dependable clip-in, clip-out when they are working properly. | | Weaknesses: | Retention adjustment mechanism is a crude setup that invloves a screw threaded through a small nut that is not anchored to anything. If the nut comes loose during a bumpy ride, which it can and will, it's gone forever. The simplicity of the mechanism might be a plus when it comes to repair, but you've already got enough nuts to worry about when your riding. It also very difficult to gage just how tight your retention is without tightening the screw all the way and then counting each turn you make in the other direction. The looseness of the nut, which is deep in the interior of the pedal, does not permit an immediate assessment of the retention. | | Bottom Line: | Keep shopping. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
