I am moving from flats to spds and was wondering what everyone uses?
Have been looking at M520's are these a good pedal to start off with?
Thanks Matt

iam right is saying you can set the tension on them so your feet release easier?

Yes and it couldn't be easier. There are two hex bolts on each pedal with +/- next to them to tell you which way to turn them.

I used to have Crank Bros... no tension setting - but didnt ever find that a problem.
I recently canged to the M770's (XT) - a bit more expensive but have got XT on the side!!  and am very pleased with them. I have knocked them a couple of times while pedaling round corners though - didnt get this with the Crank Bros!!
The change was made after good reviews of the Shimanos and the inability to service my CBs easily...
I intend to thrash the Shimanos for about a year and then decide which is the better choice of SPD!

Personally, I have trashed two sets of Crank Bros pedals in the last 12 months - not impressed - so have now moved to Time ATAC's, which have a very good rep. Surely can't go wrong with Shimanos either.
Cheers

I've got 520's on my road bike, they're spot on.
Have Shimano ever made a bad SPD pedal? Bearing in mind they all work in the same way, the only difference being the materials they are made of.
