I can’t fault 99Bikes but I am disappointed with the Garmin edge 130plus after it stopped itself with a blank “ride in progress” screen mid ride. No data then recorded until a manual reset later. Not something That can be done safely while riding at 40kmh in the middle of a group.“Hang on everyone - I need to reset my Garmin”. Googling, it seems to be an unresolved issue for the last 3 years. It only seems to occur with multiple sensor inputs (HR, Cad, Spd) connected.Should have bought the 530!

I bought these pedals for a 2000 km bike touring trip from Tallinn to Budapest. It was the best idea I could've had. I just switched from flats to spd and they make a very huge difference in terms of efficiency and I also feel like that my legs, due to the possibility of pulling the pedals as well - do not hurt anymore on long rides how they used to, especially my knees. I don't experience any knee pain anymore. These pedals are super sturdy, I find them super high quality for a relatively low price. Absolutely recommended.

Decent performance clipping in and out, but as it is an older model there is more float than the newer ultegra models. Amazing silver finish, and great durability as is expected with MTB cleats, good recommendation for a commuter.

Pedals clip in reassuringly , power transfer feels solid with no power loss. Has enough wiggle room to feel comfortable while feeling solid with the bike. Tension adjustment can go low enough for a lighter rider (like me) to have no trouble clipping in or out. Looks fantastic on my bike. No complaints, perfect for me.
Great clipless pedal for the price! This is my first clipless/clip-in pedal. I bought it for my road bike despite this being an MTB pedal. It's a little on the heavy side, so if you are looking for light-weight, this is not for you. I use these with the Shimano AM5 shoes, which are great. Easy clip-in/out action, with a satisfying *click* when the cleat locks in. Easy to maintain, and has been serving me well for several hundred miles at this point.Thanks, Shimano!
I bought these to try to give clipless another go for my trail bike, but clipless is just not for me for mountain biking. I greatly prefer the feel of flats since they have effectively zero float. The float in these pedals is a little unnerving to me being used to spikey flat pedals, it feels like it limits control or confidence on tech.But, pedals are a super personal decision and these are very well made. Much better than the spd compatible non-shimano pedals I have used. Adjustment is easy and they feel solid.
Loud clicking noise coming from both pedals when pedalling after only 30 dry miles. Axles spin freely and smoothly, but the noise is definitely coming from the pedals as replacing them with another pair makes the clicking noise disappear. Sprayed some WD40 on the springs, but that didn't help either. So likely the bearings already need servicing :(.
So this is a great pedal for most purposes: I'm planning to use thrm on a gravel bike, but are great value mountain pedals. They aren't not super light of course but are an acceptable weight. Good mud clearance. Easy to set up, with good range of spring adjustment and good old pedal wrench flats. I just wish it had come in silver, as shown online. Black looks good when first on the bike, silver looks good forever. That might have added that little bit of excitement to what is, in the end, a solid, smart product that appeals to the head perhaps a bit more than the heart.
This is the third pair of M520’s I have bought, the others are still functioning well. Whilst some may consider them cheap and cheerful, from my own experience they do a decent job, are reliable in the way they operate in conjunction with the cleats on my shoes and have proved long lasting. So, they may not be as light, or have the same level of adjustment as more expensive options, for me they do the job just fine.The Tredz website is easy to navigate, price was competitive and the pedals arrived quickly and well packaged.
Sturdy simplicity of operation and adjustment in the pedals and cleats. The pedals are not in any way "mountain bike" specific - they are perfectly suited to a road/ race bike. The pedals are two sided, both being the same, so you don't have to fuss with getting the correct side up. The tightness of the pedal grip, which really means how hard it is to get the shoe's cleat IN to the pedal (because once in the cleat will not ever casually pull out) is easily adjusted, independently on each side of the pedal, so if one side is more difficult to get in to, just back off its tightness screw a tad. (a 2mm or a 3mm. hex wrench, I think). The angle of the cleats on the shoe soles is easily adjusted, in case you have differences in how your feet and knees alighn and want a ... MoreSturdy simplicity of operation and adjustment in the pedals and cleats.

The angle of the cleats on the shoe soles is easily adjusted, in case you have differences in how your feet and knees alighn and want a different shoe angle on each side. The cleats are made for any shoe that has the two parallel channels, not the 3 scew hole system. I have a couple pari of Specialized shoes with the correct "drilling" and the system is great. To get a shoe OUT of a pedal, you just vigorously turn your heel outward and the cleat instantly extracts from the pedal. Terrific system and... it is inexpensive! The package of pedals and cleats can be currently found for less than $55.
