If you push/drag your foot from rear to front, you get the CLEAT. So, you get to pick with these. Fresh out of the box, they don't naturally 'drop', but once you get 10-15 miles on them... the 'rear' of the pedal drops so that you get the proper action. If it won't... you need to have them re-lubed, overhauled (e.g. new balls), and the seals inspected. Also, there is a special tool for these to get the bearing pre-load correct. If you do not have the tool (shimano part# for the tool is on the datasheet for these pedals at shimano.com), do not disassemble them--You will not be able to re-assemble them. (if you do disassemble them, try your best to get them back 'together' and head to your LBS, they may preload and tighten them for you, or order the tool for you.) **Q: Is there space to attach velcro straps/cages? I know this isn't necessary, but I am looking for versatility.** A: YES of course! I have clipless on one side and old rat traps or clips on the other side for those days when I am lazy and dont want to change shoes for a quick 10 minuite fast spin. **Q: Can I just wear normal shoes with these? Is this a good choice for a road bike?** A: Yes with these pedals you can wear street shoes or spd cleats. I agree w/ the other person that if you're concerned about weight then these are wrong for you. **Q: What is the thread/axel size?** A: 9/16"-20 is the standard for bicycle pedal threads, left hand thread on the left side to prevent backing out under precession. These follow that convention.Old one-piece steel cranks sometimes have 1/2"-20 threads.Most pedals use 15mm open end wrenches to install. These do, and also take a 6mm allen wrench (although the recess looks a little shallow for putting a lot of torque into it, it is still nice for an on-road tightening, if necessary. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good pedals, for the money *by on Reviewed in the United States September 5, 2011* I bought these to replace a set of pedals with bad bearings (they went out after almost 10 years of service), and I figured I'd get myself halfway into the clipless pedals club, so these appeared to be a decent compromise. They're a little bit heavy, which in my world just means that they're really sturdy and solidly built, but I suppose there might be people out there who are trying to keep their bike weight down for those races, and these wouldn't be a great bet for that. Installation was easy, and I used these for about a month before getting shoes that would allow me to clip in, experiencing very little annoyance at having to occasionally flip the pedals to get onto the platform side. Now that I have installed the included clips on my new shoes, I noticed that one of the little brackets included with the hardware doesn't allow the screw heads to sit flush, meaning that they would scrape pretty heavily on the ground if I were to walk around a lot. I'm trying to track down a replacement set of those things, but I do find it curious that one bracket is fine and the other isn't. Maybe this is how they keep the price down. Getting the clip side up has been a little bit more challenging than it was to get the platform side up, so I'm glad I can ride more-or-less comfortably with either side up, at least for short distances. I haven't taken the clipless setup on a long ride yet, but I'm hoping this will cure some foot numbness that I'd been experiencing on 20 mile rides. If not, I suppose I'll be hunting down a new seat next month!Edit: 5 years later, still pretty happy with these. I ride with clipless shoes about half the time, and the other half I ride with street shoes. Sure, that sounds weird, but due to weird traditions these are clipless pedals and so require clipless shoes if you want to clip in. Yep. So I'm still pretty happy with these, as they're versatile and reasonably well-sealed inexpensive pedals. If they eventually give out, I'll probably try to replace them with something similar, because sometimes I like to be clipped in, and sometimes I don't. They are a bit heavy, so if weight is a concern, you might want to check around for something less rugged. But the flip side is that these are really very tough and sturdy pedals, so they can handle quite a lot of abuse. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice Pedals *by on Reviewed in the United States May 18, 2012* First off, I am pretty rough on my MTB and I'm a big guy, so I put a lot of stress on these pedals. So far they have performed flawlessly. I get down in the mud pretty good, and was thrilled at how well the mud clears from the SBD side of the pedals. The bearings feel great and you can easily pull out of the SBD side and flip the pedals as you approach the steep descents. I purchased these pedals along with Shimano SH-MT23 Mountain Bike Shoes... and you can tell they were designed to function together!Of course these were easy to install and all you need is an ordinary 15mm wrench. They are a little on the heavy side, but not heavy enough for me to complain. I suppose if you are knocking off each ounce of weight possible you may want to keep looking. They are incredibly strong and I keep a great footing on the flat side of the pedals while wearing sneakers during freestyle and mountain runs.Really I can't find any reason NOT to purchase these except for the weight issue. Like others said, the weight can help with your cadence due to the flywheel effect they tend to create. I noticed some weren't happy with the fact that you have to feel around with your foot to make sure you are on the right side of the pedal while clipping in... but it isn't a big deal. You can clip in quick enough that you don't lose significant momentum or time even if you have to flip the pedal with your toe. Also, you can feel whether or not its the smooth side.. very noticeable.EDIT 9/17/2012: After 4 months of beating these pedals up, they have proven to be indestructible! The strength of these makes the weight well worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super pedals for my hybrid *by on Reviewed in the United States May 11, 2012* I bought Pearl iZUMi Men's All-Road Cycling Shoe recently and wanted a set of dual platform/spd clip pedals. I tried a XLC Alloy MTB / Trekking Pedal, Black that were cheap and peformed poorly so the Shimano is my 2nd go-around. These are much higher quality despite being relatively low cost. Certainly they feel a little heavy but for my bike, a Trek Valencia hybrid, it suits me just fine--I am not out to win any races and bike for recreation and fitness. I am new to spd clips so i adjusted the clip side for low clamping. That makes these easy to engage and easy to disengage. In fact, I went to stop one time and forgot to disengage... As I went to put my foot down, it was obviously still clipped so the bike started to tip--but was able to unclamp at the last second to avoid a fall. The pedal itself is rather compact which I like. The platform side has good teeth on the outside for grip. The clip side does not have teeth so did not interfere with the soles of my shoes with recessed cleat.Performance: Very easy to clip in. Just put my feet roughly over the area of the clips and start pedaling--they pretty much clip in and give you some feedback that you are in. When set for loose clamping, there is some wiggle room for the shoes but it has never accidently released and when needed, is easy to disengage. Going clipped has really upped my pedalling to another level. Particularly with undulating tracks--it really helps to have a solid connection to the pedals when trying to pick up speed on the downhill or pedalling hard uphill (including standing pedalling). Huge difference. Still it is nice to have the option of not wearing your bike shoes. The tradeoff is that I do have to look down and sometimes spin the pedal around so the clip faces up when going clipped--worth it!!!Overall, I would not recommend anything cheaper than this pedal for starters. It is not worth the cost savings. Unless you are a racer or have a high-end bike that you paid $$$ for lightweight contruction, the weight of these pedals is a non-issue and the quality is very good for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Shimano PD-M324 // SPD Pedal (im Karton) - Shimano – pair of SPD wedges for mountain/Cyclo shoes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/1483910-shimano-pd-m324-spd-pedal-im-karton](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/1483910-shimano-pd-m324-spd-pedal-im-karton) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
