Shimano PD-ES600 SPD Clipless Pedals w/ Cleats (Black)

I replaced my 10 year old PDA-600 pedals with these. TheES600's are very nice looking and smooth, and I like the smaller size than the PDA's. I hesitated in getting these based on reviews that the lack of weight on the back of the pedal prevents them from engaging cleat side up after a stop. This is true, and that's why I only give them 4 stars. However, the PDA-600's didn't always present themselves cleat side up either, and I only find these pedals slightly worse. This should improve as the bearings loosen up with use. If you are like me and are sold on recessed cleats for a road bike then there aren't a whole lot of choices out there. This is a good pedal and it fills that gap, but you may not always clip in it on the first shot. If you can live with that then this is a good pedal.

Really a great overall pedal. I have them on my 5.9 Trek Domane. Fairly inexpensive, pretty light, and the best thing is you can wear an inset cleat which keeps you from always walking on your heels and clicking around every where you do. If' you're looking for a high-end performance pedal, this might not be the pedal for you, but if you want a solid pedal that looks nice, performs well, and it definitely more versatile than some of the high-end pedals I would definitely recommend these.

Great pedal. Lighter than my other pedals which look the same. Easy in and out. I can use my SPD's so walking or hiking is not a problem.
