SHIMANOPD-EH500 Urban Riding & Cycle Touring Double Sided Bike Pedal

I purchased the SHIMANO PD-EH500 pedals for my Zwift setup with a KICKR CORE trainer, and they’ve already made a huge difference! I had been using the pedals that came with the bike, which honestly looked like they belonged on a child’s bike. I already had Shimano clips for my shoes (which I use on my Trek hybrid road bike), so I wanted something versatile that could also work for my spouse, who doesn’t have clip-in shoes.These pedals are perfect! The double-sided design gives us both options: I can clip in for a smooth, efficient ride, and my spouse can use the flat side with regular shoes. I’ve only used them once so far, but I can already tell they’re a game-changer. My ride felt so much smoother, and my feet stayed in one place on the pedal—exactly what I needed.If you’re looking for a reliable, versatile pedal for both clip-in and casual rides, I highly recommend these. Perfect for Zwift and beyond!

Recently got these for a Giant CX bike, have put a lot of miles into both sides of the pedals over the last couple months, and I really like these pedals.Riding clipped with the include SH-56 cleats is great. The tension is easy to adjust +/- and at the middle setting I've chosen I don't have any issues with clipping in quickly (even in city riding where there are lots of stops) or with coming unclipped.The flat side with the included pins is pretty grippy, I ride with soft EVA foam running shoes and have no issues with my feet coming off even on some pretty rocky terrain. With that said if you're a flat shoe MTB racer these aren't the pedals for you (they're not that big a platform), but that's not who they're for anyway. My bike has a 1x SRAM Apex drivetrain meant for riding clipped in, so one thing that will kick my feet off the pedals is shifting to the smallest 1 or 2 rear cogs, but I can't really blame that on the pedals. (Maybe i need to upgrade the crankset!)Basically it a joy to pedal on either side. At first the pedals flipped over a little too easily but now they tend to mostly stay on whatever side I'm using. Riding around the city I prefer clipped just because you can leave one pedal clipped in at red lights and stops, and then take your time clipping the second foot when you take off. But, I've definitely mashed on the SPD side in flat shoes to get away at a light, and the opposite, pedaled with my cleat on the flat side. So yeah, these pedals are hybrids so they're never ideal in any one situation, but in general I don't find the pedals flipping to the "wrong" side to be annoying.Installation is easy. You do have to screw all the pins in. (If you haven't taken pedals *off* a bike before, well, I hope you have a pedal wrench. Or my method of a standard wrench + a hammer + swearing works too.) Then you can install these with either a hex key or pedal wrench. I'd recommend you use some standard waterproof grease on the threads (to keep out dirt and make it easier to get them off again).

It was super easy to install. One side can be clipped into your MTB shoes and the other side is flat like a standard pedal. This is the perfect pedal for city cycling because city traffic stops can be annoying and requires frequent clipping/unclipping.

I was so terrified of clipping in and falling when I couldn't clip out that I had cages on my road bike for more than a decade. Finally, I decided to get this one because it has a flat on one side. Clipping in and out is so easy. I have never had any issues. I am purchasing a second pair for my hybrid.

I got these for my transition between road biking - where I've been using SPD pedals for years - and mountain biking where I was finding that I needed/wanted to be clipped in for some thing and unclipped for more difficult terrain.First, the pedals are top quality. They are incredibly easy to get into and unclip from. They are light and just built well overall. The flat side is not as big as a normal flat MTB pedal though so be aware of that. If this kind of pedal is what you want, you will not be disappointed.Having said that, I've switched to flat pedals on my MTB. In the end, I got tired of trying to decide whether to use the clip side or the flat side. The clip side is great for that feeling of being solidly connected to the bike but it was holding me back from tackling more and more difficult terrain. The fear of not being able to unclip if I couldn't manage a section was getting in my head and making me not try things. It's too hard to anticipate the proper side in dynamic terrain. Plus, it was too hard to find the right side if you had to start on a hill or some difficult patch.I switched to regular flat MTB pedals and have been much happier. Knowing I can get out has given me much more confidence to tackle tough sections and I've enjoyed riding them much more. Given the proper shoes, my feet stick pretty well on the pedals anyway so it's not as bad as it could be. My feet do come off every once in a while but overall, I'm glad I went flat.That's not the fault of these pedals though so I stand by my high rating.

Recently purchased a road bike second hand and needed some pedals. These pedals are nice and have the option to clip on once I get my cycling shoes. I’ve done at least 50 miles on these and they aren’t uncomfortable at all.

The peddles were exactly as I expected. I am happy with the quality, the weight and the looks. I am looking forward to many miles of roads and trails ahead of me pushing these peddles to the limit.

Los mejores pedales que he tenido. ajuste perfecto y se libera súper rápido, ni una sola caída donde uno se queda anclado o enganchado a los chocles
