Strengths: Light, cool looking, small, click in is nice and solid, beautiful bearings which to this day have never been touched and don't require any servicing.Weaknesses: God awful creak, im sure they are expensive but got mine as part of a new dura-ace equipped bike.Bottom Line: I got these pedals in 93 when they first came out, they were great for the most part but over time the base plate squeaked something fierce and Shimano warrantied one baseplate with another (used albiet) base plate. They do squeak a lot and you must grease the front of the cleat mechanism and the corner contact points if you want to avoid an annoying creaking squeak. This sucks because if you weear your shoes in the house and on some carpet there is a greasy imprint of the shimano SPD cleat left behind. Plus grease tends to attract dirt and grit adding to the problem.

Strengths: Durability, cornering clearance, light weight, ability to walk in shoes, Shimano quality, 3 cleat options.Weaknesses: Difficulty to find nowadays.Bottom Line: These vastly underrated pedals perform flawlessly. I am a 10 year plus user, occasionally trying other brands during that time and never finding a better pedal. The small cleat allows for decent walkability - can you get that with ANY other clipless pedal on the market these days? - and easy entrance exit. Definitely use a stiff soled shoe, certainly to void that dumb argument about needing a big platform for "power transfer" or "stability." Nothing tops the cornering clearance. Serviceable/rebuildable, but it requires a great deal of patience and a steady hand. Best pedal ever made.

Strengths: + durability
+ smooth spin
+ adjustment freeWeaknesses: - price to value
- hard to get in
- clips are very sensitive to dirtBottom Line: I got the pedals as part of good deal. Overall, they have provided a smooth spin with very limited adjustment required over time.
These pedals take some practice, and more practice, and then some more practice to get in. I believe the weight distribution to be too bottom heavy. Also the pedals get very upset when dirty. I have had a couple scares with a little dirt locking the whole thing up.
For the price, I expect better balance in addition to smooth spin.
Next set of pedals, I will likely try Look. Thought about Speedplay, but just can't get past the small surface area.
