| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Price Paid: | $60 |
| Purchased At: | Torpedo7.com |
| Strengths: | Light Cheap Well made and well finished Work well Appear to be strong Use Shimano cleats - get cleats anywhere. Open design for mud shedding. |
| Weaknesses: | None found as yet! |
| Similar Products Tried: | Various VP's, Shimano, and Eggbeaters |
| Bike Setup: | Tomac Taos - Reba SL, SRAM X9, Mavic, Easton etc. |
| Bottom Line: | I wanted some cheap but respectable pedals for my XC hardtail, and found these on Torpedo7.com for a paltry $60 AUD. This is a bargain for light, fully featured pedals - especially ones with such a nice finish. They are very well finished, with a pleasing goldish grey colour and polished axles. There is an alloy threaded cap (not plastic!) to access the axle nut and outside bearing, making rebuilding easy. The axle has a nice, deep Allen key hole - no provision for a pedal wrench. They are a very open design. So they should work well in mud. As usual, they offer adjustable tension, a big advantage over Eggbeaters IMO. They come with Exustars' cleats but Shimanos work. I've banged a few rocks and it hasn't worried them at all. |

| FavoriteTrail: | Bedugul |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Price Paid: | $35 |
| Strengths: | robust engagement, quite strong body - it banged very hard to trail rock the last time I ride, only minor scratch. Mud-shedding ability is good, and it's lightweight too. You get more than you paid for. |
| Weaknesses: | None yet. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Shimano 520 & 540 |
| Bike Setup: | Yeti ARC hardtail |
| Bottom Line: | You get a lot more than you paid for. Similar price to the SPD 540, with performance and quality close to the 959 |
