“The pedals work very well as a good all-round option if you want to vary between hiking/sport shoes and Shimano clipless (SPD) shoes. The platform side is large enough for larger mens shoes and the screw in lugs are effective (Note: the small plastic packet the lugs are provided in is not obvious and could be missed inside the box for the pedals). The clipless side holds shoes securely, but is easy to clip out of if you need to frequently disengage for commuting (much easier than my previous M424 double sided pedals). The only downsides are that no side is weighted sufficiently to remain downwards, so you have to check which side to engage and sometimes flip the pedal (less easy at night) and also that the non-SPD side lugs may damage soft sole or leather sole shoes.”
“These pedals makes clipping in and out of my Fizik X4 Terra Powerstrap shoes so easy. Total confidence in standing up on the pedals on steep ascents when using these. Handy to have the other side of these pedals useable when riding in standard footwear.”
“gives you best of both work i.e. flat on one side and clipless on the other. I prefer using flat side on heavy traffic area (stop and go) and use clipless side on clear road.”
