if you were infact referring to the m515s, i heard there were some problems with cliping in and out and like spring tension doesnt stay and stuff. altho i know how to adjust them as i am a techy, i dont want messed up clips when im trying to sprint

ah! you're right, I'm dumb, here's the Shimano site to illustrate the obvious difference: images/advsearchroll.gif
I feel like I'm pushing pedals...if you want them, sure.

I have M515s on my cyclocross bike. They're not the best pedals I've ever used, but they're not the worst, either. As long as you use the Shimano cleat -- and only the Shimano cleat -- you should be okay. I'm planning to upgrade these pedals at some point this summer [before the cyclocross season, in any event], but not because they don't work; only because they get clogged with mud too easily.
I know some people who've had some success with the Ritchey Road Logic pedals. They're not the toughest out there, but they seem to work.

Of course... you could always just spend $10 on a pedal wrench and swap your pedals between your MTB and roadie, as needed...

I've got M515's on my MTB and just put them on my cross bike. Haven't had any problems with them at all.

so the good reviews are there but if you go on MTBR where there are multiple reviews many dont like them.. are they nuts or are they just incapable with SPDS or wat. I can pick the pedals up here for 70bux soo.. as long as they are better than my mountain pro logic

i am either able to get
Shimano m515 for 70bux
or Victor (forgot the model) the ones that are identical to the Ritchey road logic for 50bux. they seem to have good bearings in the spindle.
