The PD-ED500 will keep you out riding with its durable and low-maintenance construction. Its chrome-molly spindle is strong and durable. The sealed bearing cartridge axle keeps water and debris out. All of this means more time in the saddle and less in the shop.
The PD-ED500 is an excellent introduction to SPD clip in pedals. Adjustable tension settings allow you to customize how easy or hard it is to clip in and out of the pedal. Multi-directional release cleats will give you confidence when you need to put a foot down, and the double-sided entry means that you can clip back in on either side of the pedal.
