Indeed, but they won't be compatible with the pedals on the other bikes in the stable (said pedals aren't as heavily used as are those on my commuter). Three sets of cheapos that may never need to be replaced because they're used much less makes some sense, no?
Edit: or are they? Are M520s compatible?
