Review from Cycling Plus

Like all good off-road pedals, the mechanism stands proud of the body...it's good to know that this pedal works just as effectively on the road and the double-sided aspect makes it very easy to 'find' entry without needing to look down at your feet.

In conclusion...

Best value serious off-road pedal also works well on the tarmac

Rating: 8/10

Review from What MTB

The 520 gets the latest flatter profile adjustable spring tension body, plus sealed bearings, and all for £30

In conclusion...

Shimano invented the the SPD and despite everyone trying to copy or 'improve' it, there's still no more popular way to clip your feet to your bike.

Rating: -

Review from MBR

In the market for your first pair of pedals, just to give the clipless thing a try? These are the one's we'd pick.

In conclusion...

They're light, work well, and best of all, dirt cheap.

Rating: 10/10

Review from Cycling Plus

Shimano's origninal SPD system is one against which all similarly designed pedals are judged. The M520 offers exceptional value and performance for the money, and it's a tried and trusted design that works. Its mud shedding design and reliable clip and release mechanism is aimed at mountain bikers. The M520s also make great all-round pedals for tarmac when used with SPD shoes and the release tension can be backed off low or wound up tight for extra security on the road. These pedals last for ages and for £2.99 you can buy the axle removal tool that allows you to get to the bearings for quick and easy servicing. If you're not a fan of clipless pedals then you should consider a pair of M520s because they're very tough wearing and smooth running.

In conclusion...

Superb SPD performance for the price, these set the benchmark.

Rating: 9/10

Review from What MTB

Great value real SPD pedals that benefit from Shimano's trickle-down technology practice, using the design and cleats from the much-loved older and dearer 959 pedal. Your feet will clip in and out with the standard reliable Shimano clack, there's a wee bit of sticky release trouble when things get dry, gritty or claggy, and you have to get stompy on the pedal when riding in stupid-thick mud, but the open design of the cleat interface lets your standard issue gloop through without any bother.

In conclusion...

Great value SPDs, a little heavy, but feel under foot isn't noticeable

Rating: 8/10

Review from MBR

this basic model may lack the Teflon-like coating, but entry and exit from this latest design is without doubt one of the most reliable and confidence inspiring on the market. The snap of the guts when clipping in can be disconcerting to a new rider, but the bark is worse than the bite. As soon as you reach the edges of the 5° foat window, the release is quick and efficient. Bearing quality is not as high as more expensive pedals, but that's the case for most budget pedals. Neither are they super-light nor super-stiff.

In conclusion...

What they offer is a perfect compromise: reliability and perfect performance at a great price. What more do you want from a product? Add to this the ubiquitous availability of cleats and it becomes difficult to recommend - a sure favourite in the mbr office.

Rating: 10/10

Review from Cycling Plus

While the entirely user serviceable bearing system has largely remained unchanged for two decades this second generation SPD also has the benefits of improved mud clearance and the cleats are compatible with most non-race shoes and indeed many hard-soled racing shoes that have cleat holes spaced 14mm apart.

In conclusion...

Better mud clearence than before. Ideal for road users too.

Shimano PD-M520 Pedals 4.7 5 609 609

Great first set of cleated pedals The changed from clips to cleats with these pedals have been a total success. 14 July 2010

Excellent budget pedals These pedals have worked really well for me and i've had no problems with them, plus they've got a large amount of float so my knees have had no problems iwth them. The only reason i docked them a mark for quality was because they were incompatible with dhb M1 MTB Shoes which i bought, and i'm not sure whose fault that incompatibility is. 11 July 2010

Good Price, Great Product I fitted these last night and rode on them this morning. A breeze to put and use and all at a very reasonable price. 06 July 2010

Well made Pedal Good well made pedal - basic design with a good bearing. These last pretty well. For me, I get about 6 months commuting before they start to creak and click. Get about 9-10 months from PD940's. I think these are the cheapest good quality pedal around. Just wish they would last a bit longer. The edges get a bit sharp after a while from clipping in and out allot. 30 June 2010

Are Shimano PD-M520 pedals ok for a road bike?

I'm completely new to the world of cycling and have bought myself a second hand bike which comes with Shimano PD-M520 pedals. Appears that these are for a mountain bike - am i ok with these on my road bike? And will the cleats fit road shoes ok - when I'm brave enough to give them a go?
Many thanks

Answers

Answer:

I have both MTB and a Road bike and use the same M520 clip-in pedals on both as felt comfortable with the way the pedals worked and didn’t want the expensive of buying another pair of shoes. Maybe not ideal if I was going to take up road cycling seriously, but for an enthusiastic amateur i'm very happy.

You can put SPDs on road bike shoes, but the combination of hard plastic or carbon sole with a metal cleat against pavement doesn't work well and walking around on pavement, you'll wear them out or mess the cleats up to a point you may or may not be able to clip in or out of the pedals. SPD cleats should be worn or used on shoes where they are recessed, MTB shoes that is what they were designed for not road. If you choose to use SPDs on your Road Bike at least use the MTB shoe and cleat combo so it recessed like many people do including myself, this is my combo. Its far easier to walk in any condition in MTB shoes.

Answer:

I have two road bikes running these pedals, I like them as the cleats are recessed in the soles of the shoes so you can walk in them. great for commuting.

Answer:

I have fitted these pedals to my road bike and actually use an MTB shoe which means I can walk a long way with them on if necessary as they are just like trainers. It took me just minutes to get used to them after using toe clips all my life (I am over 60). Just remember to release your foot before you come to a stop.

Hi,

I use these pedals for commuting to work (MTB) and on my race MTB. For both purposes these pedals are great. I didn't needed to adjust the releasde springs at all.
And for the Wiggle price they are great value.

Answer:

These pedals will not fit road cleats. I found it difficult to switch to keo/road pedals on my road bike, so switched back to M520s on my road bike. Some road shoes come with additional holes for MTB cleats.

Northampton

Answer:

They're fine on a road bike. A lot of commuters use them.
You might not get quite as much power transfer/stability as with a road clipless pedal (e.g. spd sl), but you get the benefits of being able to clip in to either side of the pedal and of being able to use them with mtb shoes (i.e. you can have a shoe with a recessed cleat, which makes it easier to walk around when you're off the bike).
Road cleats generally use 3 bolts whereas the cleats that fit M520s (eg SH51s) are 2 bolt. So you could have problems fitting the cleats to some road shoes.
