Perfect fit for my ProForm cycle!

I use these pedals on my ProForm spin cycle. They fit perfectly and give me a much better ride! They were very easy to install, even for this novice. I couldn't be happier with them. BONUS - The price on WesternBikeWorks was better than Amazon!

Perfect for the touring cyclist

Review for Shimano XT PD-M8020 SPD Trail Pedals
5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.
I've been a touring cyclist for years and have used a variety of spd pedals. These XT's offer a large platform and dual-sided entry, making them perfect for long days in the saddle without getting numb feet, combined with the most convenient clipping in-and-out you can imagine. I like them a lot better than the Shimano road spd pedals I had that had one-sided entry.

I bought these so I didn't have to worry about my pedals clipping in. The lower profile design is a definite must for the lower bottom brackets

Good pedals
I like these pedals, a little on the heavy side but good platform if you want a little more support on your strokes.
Could be ridden with trainers occasionally, but would not recommend.

Platforms SPD Noticeable improved control
2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.
Noticeably more stable for endurotrail riding! Ive used SPDs 550s and the like for years for XC, trail, cyclocross, & I love them for their simplicity, reliability, mud shedding, lightness, etc, but then I wondered why I was worried about a weight penalty on my 32 lb full squish? These bigger platform SPDs add a subtle but noticeably improved contact with the bike. I definitely recommend them!

These pedals are light and provide a great supportive base for your feet on long rides. I especially like the double-sided feature of these pedals. No problems getting in or out of these. I'm a road rider so can't review for dirt.

Bought these to get rid of the hot spot under my cleats from smaller spd cleats. No more hot spot and seems to have better power transfer.

Great pedals at a very good price

Review for Shimano XT PD-M8020 SPD Trail Pedals
5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.
I really like these pedals on my mountain bike - I can start on hills without clipping-in until I am ready. Usually my foot finds the clip position within a crank or two and I am off.
Bad thing - you really need to get the correct shoe clips for mountain biking. I tried the regular SPD clips and my feet would not come out of the clips fast enough - even at the loose setting. I crashed twice around steep corners where I could not get my feet out fast enough.
If you buy these pedals - Get the SH56 SPD cleat with an M stamp. These cleats will allow a much easier unclip when needed. Have not had a problem since I purchased the SH56 cleats.

I've ridden SPDs for mtb as well as cyclocross racing for years and recently switched to the SPDs with the a larger platform and happy that I did. There's just a little more feel you get with the added surface area vs. normal SPDs. Also very nice to be able to ride with regular shoes when called for without slipping off.
The XT versions are very smooth and can be rebuilt when necessary, a great buy!
