Review from Cycling Plus

Shimano's M324s have always been a popular touring an commuting pedal. The new A530s work on a similar principle. The single-sided SPD offers a very broad platform - ideal for leisure shoes, which typically have more flexible soles than conventional race-shoes, while the flat side means you can also use the flat side with normal trainers for heading down to the pub, or as a back-up if your SPD's fail while on tour. There's adjustment in the spring tension of the SPD mechanism, so those new to the wonders of clipless pedals can slowly build up confidence, though I found there's a bit less float in the design - perhaps an issue for those with knee complaints. Cup and cone bearings ensure a long service life - we've been racking up touring and commuting miles on ours without any problems.

In conclusion...

A simple, light pedal that will suit leisure riders and those new to clipless riding.

Excellent commuting pedals Possibly a bit heavier than other pedals but the ability to switch between cleats and 'normal' shoes for a short cycle make them invaluable for commuting or spare training bikes. 12 July 2010

Shimano A530 SPD Single Sided Touring Pedals Excellent purchase, you have the best of both world either clipped in or you can use the flat side if you are just popping out and not using cleated shoes and they look excellent on my bike. 30 June 2010

Good pedals Very good pedals - double sided so in theory you can ride with flat shoes too if needed. This is why I bought them but I've yet to ride the bike with flat shoes as I use a different bike for getting to work....if you have a pedal spanner it only takes 5 mins to change the pedals anyway so if I bought again I would probably not bother with the double sided option. Not sure why they are so expensive but then again everything seems to be these days. 28 June 2010

usual shimano quality look great, slightly heavy, stable. used only with normal shoes so far and was surprised how good the anti-slip contact points are. bulgy only compared to SPD-SL pedals. 19 June 2010

Answer:

Yes they would be a good first SPD pedal, although to be honest a double sided SPD is probably better as you wouldn't find yourself mucking about trying to get the right side up. If you want the versatility of both then these are good.

Answer:

These are an SPD pedal, so getting used to twisting your foot and getting it out of the cleat just takes a little practice.

I wish I had bought these with my TriCross instead of full SPD's. For me a brilliant pedal which allows me to use my one bike for more than one purpose.

Yes they are a good first SPD pedal but I guess it depends on what your main cycling purpose is?

Road cycling there is prob no point as you would very quickly want full SPD.

Touring, allows you a backup if your cleat breaks and you can still cycle to the pub in your flip flops in the evening.

which way does the a530 pedal lay when not being used, flat side up or is the clip side up?

3 years, 7 months ago

tubman

1I have this question too

Answers

Answer:

Neither, the pedals rest perpendicular to the ground - flat side forward and cleat facing backwards. That way you can resume pedelling without looking down, by approaching the pedal with your foot from either the front or behind, depending on your shoes.

Answer:

They don't tend to lay one way more than the other. Doesn't take much to spin them round to use whichever side you want. The axle is tight enough that they dont lay verticle but whichever way you move them to.

Answer:

As I wrote in my review, the platform side has enough recess so that the cleats do not scrape or push against them.
I have the standard cleats that came with the pedals fitted on a pair of Keen Arroyo Pedal cycling sandals.

As the cleat of a MTB shoe is recessed you should be able to use the flat side of the pedal without issue even with your MTB shoes.

sympo

Answer:

Yes - fairly straight forward fitting. Pedal threading is standardised.

There are detailed instructions in the packaging for bike fitting and cleat adjustment. There are also plenty of youtube videos on pedal fitting. Each pedal is specific for the left and right side and will only screw into the correct side because the left pedal is reverse threaded (if I remember correctly, i.e the right pedal tightens clockwise but the left pedal tightens anticlockwise).

I recommend a pedal spanner for the job - you wont use it often but saves any inconvenience. The pedals need to be firmly tightened but not overtightened (you dont want to seize them on) - just need to apply a little common sense.

The pedals come with full instructions. All you need is a standard pedal spanner and a tube of grease, and it's an easy 5 minute job. The most difficult bit will be removing your old pedals, it may need a bit of strength to get started.

Fitting instructions in many languages are supplied. You will need a 15mm spanner or allan key . Remember RH pedal has normal thread direction, LH pedal is opposite. Pedals are marked L or R.

Snowyogi

Answer:

Pedals are quite simple to install, just remember one is left hand thread - you can check by inspecting the new pedals threads - when fitting the cleats to your chosen shoes apply a little grease to the threads and check they bolts are tight during your first ride as they can sink into the sole of the shoe initially.
