Great pedal for a serious commuter
I ride 15 miles each way to work in Chicago almost daily on a fast commuter bike. I finally broke down and bought these clip pedals after riding on regular flat pedals without cages or clips for a few years.
The good:
Being clipped in makes a BIG difference. More power, feels great.
You can get out of these really easily. I haven't fallen over or had any major scares. The tension was set right already when the pedals arrived.
The versatility of being able to ride either clipped or clipless is great. I rarely ride without being clipped in anymore, but when I need to, it's great to be able to do so comfortably.
The not so good:
A very few times, I've grounded out these pedals while riding fast around a hard corner while pedaling. They do have a little less clearance than a pure clip pedal. Not like it's a huge common problem, but it's happened a few times. Only happens when I'm really pushing hard. Now that I'm used to it, I can easily avoid. But if I was a super-serious rider, this could be a problem.
