Knersboy Posted August 23, 2017 Share I have said it before and I will say it again, 520s are the best bang for buck MTB part I have ever owned. They are indestructible, easy to service and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezer Posted August 23, 2017 Share I have 520 that came with my bike. Bullet proof, but not as nice as the s track. My s track have done close to 20000km and no service or problems so far. I still use my 520's on my singlespeed bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieterJvR Posted August 23, 2017 Share Sorry for the slight hi-jack, but what is the float like on the s track pedals? I moved away from Candy's back to 520's purely for the reason that the Candy's had a lot more float than the Shimano pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehosefat Posted August 23, 2017 Share Whatever you do don't get M505s. I got a set thrown in for free with my new bike and they honestly weren't worth what I paid for them. 520s are good, XTs are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Panda Posted August 23, 2017 Share S-Tracks vs XT pedals: What I like about the S-Tracks:- lightweight- the connection with the cleat is much better than Shimano pedals, when I pull up in the pedal stroke the XTs have vertical play which annoys the crap out of me, causing me to not pedal in proper circles What I don`t like about S-Tracks:- about 5mm thicker both sides than the XTs so 5mm higher center of gravity when the weight is on the pedals and less clearance over obstacles- fragile compared to XTs I think these are the 2 best options for pedals yet both are still not great and I don`t know which 1 to recommend, look at my vs points and decide what is more important for you.

Serious Panda Posted August 23, 2017 Share Nino uses Ritchey spd pedals, I think this is a better option than Shimano or Look but these are difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted August 23, 2017 Share Nino uses Ritchey spd pedals, I think this is a better option than Shimano or Look but these are difficult to find.Ritchey pedals aren't great. If there is vertical play on your SPD's you need to check the tension or your cleats are worn.... Either way, the perfect pedal doesn't exist, but an XT is pretty close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmeyerSS Posted August 23, 2017 Share very tempted to get a set of these on my next trip to the US. http://www.jensonusa.com/Mountain-Pedals/HT-Components-T1-Pedals?cs=Purple Edited August 23, 2017 by jcmeyerSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the perfect pedal doesn't exist, but an XT is pretty close I have increased the tension and the play is still there with new cleats. The connection between pedal and cleat is crap with Shimano pedals, this is more obvious when pedaling in circles like I think all cyclists should. This is actually a very bad drawback of Shimano/SPD pedals. People unknowingly adapt to pushing down more to reduce the vertical play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
