Product Information

Full details

This guide is for recreational riders who want the versatility of both SPD cleats and platform pedals. The Shimano PD-EH500 pedals offer a dual-sided design, allowing you to use cycling shoes with cleats or regular shoes. A potential downside is the initial adjustment period if you're new to clipless pedals. These pedals combine an SPD mechanism on one side and a stable platform on the other, providing flexibility for commuting, touring, and casual riding.

FAQs

What kind of cleats do I need?

You need Shimano SPD cleats.

Can I use these pedals with any cycling shoes?

No, you need cycling shoes that are compatible with SPD cleats. The flat side can be used with any shoes.

How do I adjust the cleat tension?

Use the tension adjustment screw located on the pedal body. Turn it clockwise to increase tension and counter-clockwise to decrease tension.

Are the pedals waterproof?

The pedals are designed to withstand regular riding conditions, but prolonged submersion in water should be avoided.

How do I maintain the pedals?

Clean the pedals regularly with a damp cloth and periodically lubricate the axles.

What is the warranty on these pedals?

Warranty details can be found from the retailer.

Troubleshooting

Cleats are difficult to clip into.

Loosen the cleat tension adjustment on the pedal. Ensure the cleats are properly installed and aligned on your shoes.

Cleats are difficult to release.

Loosen the cleat tension adjustment. Practice releasing the cleats before riding on the road.

Pedals feel loose or wobbly.

Check the pedal axles for play. If necessary, tighten the axles or have the pedals serviced by a qualified mechanic.

Ensure you are using shoes with a suitable sole for the platform side. Consider using shoes with a more grippy sole if necessary.
