Fifty Plus (50+) - New pedals for my new Sidis

My "little black dress" bike -- black with red Spiderman-like detailing -- got a new pair of pedals today.


Shimano M520. Yep, that's right...........

I've gone clipless !!! :eek::eek::eek:

To keep my feet firmly planted on the ground (so to speak), I'm sticking with my pink helmet....... I've not completely flipped to the dark side.

When will this madness end??!! :love:

When will this madness end??!! :love:

Hopefully only after they put us in a box

Did you get the black pedals or the silver ones?

I got the black. To match the dress. :-)

Like these at REI... (http://www.rei.com/product/705311)

A new saddle will be next, when you start going over 50 miles regularly.;)

Good choice, Yen.

I have 520's on the road and touring bikes. I still have the dual-sided pedals on the mountain bike as I need to get the feet on the ground quickly when riding it:o

A year ago I scoffed at clipless, now I'm wondering.........
If I ever end up with a good SWB 'bent I'll need clipless for sure.
Yep, I'm even reading clipless posts on the internet now.

Good fer you, enjoy.

Never.:eek: You are now in the neverending cycle of spending:roflmao2::lol: OCP is an illness for which there is no cure. Learn to live with it young lady.

Nice! My Giant came with a set of those and I liked 'em quite a lot.
In fact, they're what inspired me to ultimately give the Zeros a try.

The 520s are on my Kaitai, now. :D

Oh no.......... I've already thought that when this one wears out, the next one will be a Brooks B17.

I only wish all of my shoes could be as comfortable as my Sidis. Gone clipless ... welcome to the dark side.

Haven't had the A 520's long enough to talk about length of life- but Bought my first M515's-Forerunner of the M520's about 10 years ago. They are now fitted to my son in laws bike But I have yet to repair- Adjust or replace any parts of those pedals in all the time I had them. But My riding p[artner jhas to replace his Platforms every couple of years due to wear. And he does not buy cheap platform pedals either.

I have got on so well with the A 520's in the 2 years I have had them and life of them seems to be up to Shimano's usual standard. Only problem I had was that I used the Them with my old shoes fitted with the original cleats. I kept adjusting up the tightness- until I got new shoes and cleats. Had to do a couple of circuits in the road before I could get a foot out on my first attempt at stopping as the Old cleats were a little bit worn.
