Comments about Shimano M424 SPD Pedals:
I bought these pedals after trying a few different types/brands. I ride quite a bit of cross country, but I climb for the reward of a fast descent.
I also ride clipped in when downhilling, and I found it difficult to engage the cleat into the other pedals I used. These pedals are easy to clip into, and if you don't get clipped in right away, you can still ride for awhile without it felling weird.
I did recently break the plastic outer cage, but that was the result of a direct rock strike on the Downieville Downhill.

Comments about Shimano M424 SPD Pedals:
I purchased this set of pedals for my Gary Fisher Mountain bike. I have just started riding some intermediate trails and was a little flustered when I was not able to release as quick as I would like. I thought breaking them in might work, but ended up having to adjust to my liking. Over all I would say this is a good buy for the price.

Comments about Shimano M424 SPD Pedals:
I just got in to mountain biking about a year ago and finally decided to go clipless. These are a nice first set of clipless pedals. The large platform feels secure after clipping out during sketchy pieces of trail. I also use my bike to commute to school. The platform is big enough that you can wear regular shoes and still get around on the roads reasonably well. I would recommend these pedals to either beginners or those who need an all-around pedal that still has dual sided entry.

Comments about Shimano M424 SPD Pedals:
I have used a pair of these for years on the Tahoe area trails. They have held up well. They release pretty well when I need to get out of them in a hurry. My only gripe is that they don't work as well as a "downhill" type platform pedal (the kind with pins) when using non cleated shoes. My foot tends to slip off more than with a downhill platform pedal.

Comments about Shimano M424 SPD Pedals:
OK I admit I've never ridden street or trail with clips before. I immediately loved the extra power stroke available on graveley up-hills. So, crazed with my new power, I didn't practice enough bailing out before I was beyond the point of no return on a real hill. When I actually think to kick-out, the clips work great! Unfortunately and after a dozed dumps into rock and cactus I want them to invent a clip that ejects me when I'm to stubborn to escape.

Comments about Shimano M424 SPD Pedals:
These are my first clipless pedals and the guy at REI recommended them he was right on. They were easy to adjust to after one fall, but I had to for the fun of it. Wow it is amazing how much power I have, can't believe I waited so long to upgrade the hills are no problem such efficiency and power I love these pedals. Love the fact that you can adjust the tension very smooth.

These pedals are just the ticket for anyone who want to have a clip in for a mountain bike and still be able to ride in street shoes every once and a while.
