Seal popping out after first ride
The black rubber seal popped after the first ride on each pedal. I pushed it back in, let's see if it hold up but I should not have to do this on such "high end" pedals. Seems to be a known issue.
Seals popped out on first ride
The only reason that I bought such an expensive pedal was for the tiny bit of extra clearance since I was converting a 700c bike to 650b. I was disappointed to see that after the first ride the seals were popping out. Seems to be an issue with the XTR line of pedals. I pushed it back into place, but they pushed right out again after a short time. The 8100 XTs apparently do not have this issue. I should have stuck with the bombproof M520s or M540s which can be had for 1/4 or 1/2 the price respectively.
Bad seals. Avoid!
Less than 100 miles in, the seal on the right pedal didn't just pop out, as others here (and all over the internet) have reported - it totally disintegrated. Little rubber shreds and grease all over the spindle. Unreal that Shimano has not addressed this with a recall... It's inexcusable to have this problem with any pedal, let alone their top-of-the-line model. Avoid at all costs. It's just not worth it. Go with XT if you can find them (they're rare these days) or even the m540s instead.
terrible axle length information
This pedal comes in two axle lengths (55mm, 52mm), but the listing doesn't specify which length you're buying. The 55 is quite a bit longer than the prior Shimano pedals I had and changes my pedaling. It's not clear how to buy the 52.
Get pedal but for the seal
Great pedal except I was one of those who has seal issues. The inside seal pops out and will likely lead to bearing failure. I'm going to hit up Shimano to see if there is a fix, but I like the pedal to much to return it. Too bad, since Shimano usually gets it right.
Technical Advantages and Safety
Although they are a bit pricey, there are a lot of great reviews for this model. However, I decided to go for these for 3 reasons: (Reason 1:) The stack height of these pedals is lower than on other SPD models. For example, on a 172mm crank arm at the 6 o'clock position, this means there is more ground clearance. At all positions, you are also closer to generating the genuine even spinning torque of a 172mm crank arm. Taller pedal stack heights will effectively give you a shorter crank arm length at the 6 o'clock position, and higher crank arm length at 12 o'clock. (Reason 2:) Pedal weight. My bike is heavy, and I am not a gram weight watcher, but any part of the bike that is spinning will be more efficient if it is lighter. I like to bike long distances and up hills with my heavy bike under load, and need all the help I can get. (Reason 3:) Safety. Though I am careful when walking my bike and have a high degree of self regard, my shins still get banged and cut by the aggressive grip or edges of regular pedals. The spindle length of these pedals is much shorter than non-clip pedals and all surfaces are rounded. Less shin whacks and bloody avulsions. I am happier. For me, given these advantages - especially safety, I was willing to pay the price.
Common failure with no resolution
2nd pair of XTRs. The first pair was purchased in 18' at $89. The second pair was purchased in 21' for $180. Both sets had the chain side pedal bearing fail. Unfortunately, I reached out to Shimano too late on my second set and never thought of it on the first. The rep had no leniency on the warranty and declined an explanation on a 120% price increase without addressing common failures. He must not read comments because he denied bearing failure as a common problem. Broken seals 100% contribute to failed bearings.
big upgrade over the M520s
These are really nice SPD pedals, much nicer than the M520s I've been using for the last 15 years I upgraded from. A little on the loose side out of the box for my tastes, so I had to adjust them a bit. The look great!
Easier in Harder out mud shedding.
REI doesn't make these, but they are all they say, Easy in, harder to accidently get out. Issues about the seals are apparently history, look at the dates of complaints. I have 3 sets, over several years later than those complaints and one seal out of 4 seemed a bit misplaced. I used a coffee stirring stick to reinsert it and it's been good since. If you want easy in, harder out mud shedding these may not be perfect, but they are the best.
Go ahead and treat your self....
Pedals are light, smooth, and have absolutely flawless for the 600 miles I've put on them. Zero concerns at this point of them not lasting well over 20k miles....
