I've got a pair of Wellgo DH pedals on my commuter. It was nice for riding after I hurt my knee and did a little riding on regular shoes.

Truth be told, though, if I'm going to be riding 5 blocks or something, regular shoes on my double sided spds is manageable. If I'm riding any real distance, I'll take the time to put on my biking shoes (commuter style so they're walkable too).

The major upside and downside of the DH pedals is the spikes they've got on the flat side. They're great for keeping your foot in place, but they've scratched up my legs a bunch of times.

Oh, and the shimano cleats I have don't seem to release 100% reliably from the wellgo pedals. On my shimano spds if I rotate my foot, the cleat pops out when it disengages. On the Wellgos, I have to lift my foot at the same time. If I don't lift my foot and rotate my foot past the disengagement point before pulling up, the cleat jams in the pedal. This resulted in me falling over twice in the last week, which is odd, because I've been commuting fine with those pedals for the whole season.

I'm not sure if it's a compatibility issue with the cleats (maybe the cleats that came with the pedals are a little different?) but I don't care enough to experiment. I'm switching back to my shimano m515 double sided spds on my commuter.

Incidentally, on my road bike I use Wellgo MG-8s which release just fine. I don't understand why I have such trouble with the DH pedals.
