Btwin 500, Dual Platform SPD Bike Pedals

The pedals are a good shape and size, and the SPDs work with good level of adjustment. My gripes are that the bearings started to squeak after about 50 miles, and that the platform side has nowhere near enough ridges to provide grip. Feet slip from the platform all the time.

Lasted around 50 miles of total use before the adjustment screw worked loose mid ride and fell of taking the metal plate it screws into with it. Paint flacked of so easily. Really poor quality. Customer service refused to help as they said they had been used, guessing the warranty is void as soon as you pedal once. Shocking product and even worse customer service.

Tension screw and plate came off on first ride, doesnt look like I am the only person this has happened to. Disappointing.

These arrived last weekend and were fitted with the help of a Youtube video. Being new to such pedals I found the instructions on the box extremely confusing. They really could do with providing better instructions. I also fitted the SPD cleats to my shoes (also BTWIN) and thought I had tightened the screws sufficiently but on my second trip out one of the screws fell out of the bottom of the shoe and got lost. I can get a replacement but this is annoying. Will make sure I tighten them before each use in future.

pedals arrived this afternoon. set everything up and went for a ride, very content and all was working well until about 15 miles in. I noticed a strange noise and my left foot wasnt locking in place, got off to check the problem, only to find the tension screw and plate had come loose and fallen from the pedal. shouldn't be a problem to fix just very annoying!

Do what it says on the box

Been using these for about a year now on a road bike. Clipping in and out is very positive and easy. Nice looking pedals and look good on my road bike.Going to get another pair for my second bike. Great price. I sometimes use the flat side for pushing off in traffic before clipping in. I reckon these would be good for commuters stopping and starting at traffic lights.Haven't experienced any reliability issues.

Work well as clips adjust with an Alan key. The flat side has no grip especially if wet. Better off with decent flats or going for just clips.

Worked well easy to fit on my stationary bike I recently bought so I can use it with clippons and my son can use it with his trainers

Pedals worked for one year and a half (30 minutes 3 times per week, I was 73 kgs ) and then left pedal broke in a standing position giving me a long and severe cut on the back of my leg. Went immediately to A&E cause profuse bleeding and now I have a horrible scar on the back of my leg.

Bought these for my winter bike which I also use for popping to the shops etc. Therefore I didn't want to have to put my SPD shoes on for quick journeys. My problem is that although the size and shape of the "flat/non-SPD" side is good, it's also really slippy! There are no pins or cleats like most flat pedals just a very subtle texture on a smooth paint surface. This not only makes selecting the flat side tricky but also means I have had my feet slip off of the pedals! This is particularly a problem in the wet. Shame as this could've been a really good product.

I've now had 2 pairs of these, both have failed by the axle coming out of the body after approx. 2000 km of riding in all weathers, as they have been used for daily commuting. There is no user serviceable parts, so not a lot that can be done to extend their life. I'm "heavy", but was promised these would hold up. The warranty /guarantee is great as the first were replaced without hassled, and I expect the second pair to be as well, but I really don't want to have to go back to the store "again" to get another set. Just save yourself the hassle and get a set of proper Shimano A530's instead,
