Wellgo Multi-Function Mountain Bike Pedals Shimano SPD Compatible

As soon as I opened the box the first thing I did was take them out to see how.freely they would spin. They did NOT spin freely. They actually had a stiff grind. I had to adjust them as the nuts were too tight against the bearings. The left pedal still seems a lil faulty immidiately after the adjustment because it felt as though it would still grind a little. I haven't road with these on my bike yet.Update: Took a bike ride this weekend and the pedals work great! Clipping in and out was very easy. Also adjusting the tension on the pedals for the clips was easy as well. Even though I am not thrilled to have to adjust the bearrings, I would still reccommend for the price.

These work great for clipping in or riding in your converse hi-tops! It takes a little getting used to clipping in, but it works great when you get it. I have much better pedaling efficiency when I use my old, solid fork Diamondback to commute to work. There is a skinny section of road where I feel safer in the dirt/gravel shoulder than trying to make a point on the non existent lane edge! Great quality and price!

I bought these for my wife's bike after she expressed interest in trying to ride clipped in, but knowing that she does recreational rides down the road to the park with our kids, there didn't seem to be much sense in a 2 sided pedal, and the $55 the LBS wanted for a Shimano version seemed steep for her to "try" this.The pedals look fine, I got both right and left hand thread as expected, and the cleats and hardware included seemed fine as well. Then I went to spin the pedals and it's like they used sand as lubricant. The preload on the bearings was too tight causing these to bind, not completely, but almost.There are 2 nuts at the outer side of the spindle, under the black dust cover, that allow you to adjust that, but it requires removing the pedal cage first. I figured I'd properly grease the bearings while in there, but when I opened it, what looked like unsealed cartridge bearings turned out to be loose ball bearings, so don't open these up completely unless you know how to re set loose ball bearings. Once I greased it up and got the bearing tension set properly, they spun free with zero play, just as expected. Not a huge deal breaker for the 10 minutes per pedal to do them properly, but it shouldn't be required on factory new pedals. I was able to adjust the larger internal nut with the lock nut in place by using a nice nut driver and then using the smaller nut driver to lock the outer nut.If you don't have good tools and know how, you have 2 options:1. Spend the extra money on nicer pedals2. Spend the extra money on the need tools (15mm wrench, metric nut drivers, and metric allen wrenches) and learn how to adjust these yourself. You'll be more appreciative of the pedals when you ride, and you'll be better equipped for other maintenance jobs in the future.

These were my introduction to clip-ins, so i cant say how they compare to other brands. I can tell you that i love these. Tension is easy to adjust and holds true. I have put close to 200 miles on mine and have not had to tighten or adjust a thing. I use these on my personal bike for single track riding, as well as on my police bike for bike patrol. Its nice to be able to unclip when aproaching a technical section and flip to the platform side without losing momentum.

I just purchased a new road bike, but it came with standard pedals (Schwinn Phocus 1600). I went with these so I could exercise with my friend and casual ride with my wife, it works great for both. Installation was a breeze, as is tension adjusting. This is my first experience with clipless pedals, it really makes the upstroke more efficient which in turn makes the overall riding experience more efficient. As a side, my friend has road bike clipless pedals, he likes mine better.....

As noted by other reviewers the ball bearings are improperly adjusted. Mine were also too tight. They are tricky, but not impossible, to adjust. I was able to adjust them using a 15mm crowfoot wrench, 9mm and 10mm 1/4" drive, thin wall, deep well sockets (DeWalt 6 pt), a 3mm allen wrench and a knife.1) loosen the four screws that attach the cage to the platform, then remove two of them (the outer two work fine. This permits rotating the cage out of the way.2) Use the point of the knife to pry the dust cap off to gain access to the adjusting nuts.3) The trick is to position the 9mm jam nut such that the 11mm nut (which must be overtightened) can be backed off against the jam nut and maintain the proper load on the bearings. Of course you use the crowfoot wrench to stabilize the spindle while adjusting the nuts.4) Reassemble and test the pedal spindle for too much play after a reasonable ride.I was able to get my pedals properly adjusted and they are performing well.

Most of my cycling is done on a “touring road bike” with a lower center of gravity than most road bikes. What this sadly means is…with toe-clip type pedals, one or the other will scrape the ground as you build up a little speed, get the pedal flipped over & get both feet into them.I use SPD pedals on my road bike – so why not the touring bike? For short rides around the neighborhood, use them as a platform pedal. The rubber grips hold well. For more intense rides, break out the SPD shoes, get clipped in & ride as long & hard as you want.Great multi-function pedals at a great price.

These do what they are supposed to do. I have them on an spin bike so the weight doesn't matter. A cheaper price would have been nice, but these will never have to be replaced so a $30 for a one and done is good enough.The warning against indoor bikes is in reference to the Fixed Gear set most have. If you are not experienced as a cyclist it is probably unnerving to feel you feet attached to the pedals as they are pushed around by the momentum of the flywheel when you are slowing down. If this bothers you, you shouldn't be ridding clipless anyway.

Había olvidado escribir reseña. Pero con casi dos años de uso intenso, estoy más que convencido!! :D
