 great pedals July 26, 2008

these are my third pair of shimano clipless pedals, and they are excellent; i bought their first ever clipless shimano's 16yrs ago, and they still work well on my old mtn bike. i bought these as an upgrade from some old pedals (I think 535's) that have been on my cross bike. i started to dislike the feel of the 535's, and couldn't adjust them to feel any better (too tight or too much wiggle; no great middle ground). but these 540s feel great... i click right in, the entry is positive and secure, and there isn't any of the annoying wiggle of the 535's. i might buy another pair for my mtn bike; especially because the cleat is different (rounded instead of pointed). niagara cycles (see above) sent them to california very quickly. i give 'em five stars, though i imagine that the xtr's are even better, but you can buy three sets of these for the price of one set of xtr's, so that evens it out for me.

Excellent value for the price, good combination of light weight and pedaling power without breaking the bank. Turns smoother than the 520 model. I've only ridden about 50 miles on them so far, but they're easy to get in and out of, even on a tight single-track.

I recently upgraded to the PD-M540 from the PD-M520. Significant improvement (this is not to say that the PD-M520 is a bad item- -it isn't). I use these on my road bike. In my opinion the SPD clip are easier to get into and out of than the Look-style road pedals. The SPD clips are the same as what you would use at the gym in spin class (also, you can walk for miles in the bike shoes that accomodate SPD clips). This is a two sided pedal with an adjustable clip mechanism so that you can make it as easy or difficult to unclip as your riding ability. These are fairly light weight and are a good looking pedal on the bike. They are much smaller and lighter than the 520s and as such they feel a little less clunky when you clip in. The ability to clip into the pedal yields dividends in terms of power and speed on the bike. It also makes the rider more efficient because you are using the the momemtum of up motion of your legs as well as the down. These pedals do not compromise performance and the price is very good. I strongly recommend these pedals to enhance your cycling experience. If you are considering the 520s, a word of advice: these are a significantly better pedal and value for your money.

I purchased these as well as a pair of PD-M970's for an other bike. I wanted the same cleat so I bought both and wish I just got two pairs of the M540's... There isn't any noticeable difference in the two besides the Xtr's are a bit nicer looking and maybe a couple grams lighter. The 540's are still pretty light and work great. There is plenty of movement in them without releasing. They are easy to clip in and out of. Highly recommend them.

I currently had 520's on my Giant Mountain Bike, but they were old and worn. I decided to upgrade to the 540 style which they were slightly less in total weight of pedals. Shimano is a reputable brand in much of the cycling products and I would recommend these to anyone who is looking to upgrade to another type of pedal for their mountain bike.Shimano PD-M540 ATB SPD Pedal 9/16 w/SH-51 Cleat Silver
