I used them for quite while, in both touring and randos, and when I had to ride quite a way to go shopping.

The pedals lasted well, and I got out at the weekend the five or six I have in storage over five years, but continue to decide against using them again because they don't accept the Shimano clip-ins.

The ATAC cast bronze for the clips may be different now, or likely not. I worse a pair about every year, and seeing I had around five of shoes (compared to around 8 now), that was quite expensive compared with Shimano cast steel ones that have lasted years..

Also found over a long period that the springs wore flat section from the movement to clip in. None ever broke, but were close if use continued.
