Rockrider 500, Dual Function SPD Compatible Mountain Bike Pedals

Ideal and as expected

These pedals seem excellent value as an intro pedal for trying SPD cleats, particularly as the cleats are included! However, the pair I bought showed a common trait of pedals at Decathlon - overtightened bearings. Fine if you have the ability to strip the pedal and rectify this, otherwise make sure you try each spindle for smooth, easy turning and if it is not, take the pedals to an assistant and ask to have their bike tech sort them - maybe that way Decathlon will do something about this persistent problem! Cleat spring settings were also jam-tight but should anyway be adjusted to suit you, slacken off then adjust up as needed.

These are a huge disappointment. They were exactly what I needed for a new road bike that I'd also like to be able to ride in normal shoes. However the bearings are *appalling*. One is stiff, and the other barely moves. I've fitted them to the bike and don't notice when riding, but I know it's wasting energy, and don't think they'll last long in that state. Will be returning when I get a chance.

Have never used such pedals before, but thought they could be good on my gravel bike. The option of having them with clips and as platforms seemed appealing. Bought those rather than similar Shimano ones as they are much lighter. They may not be very heavy duty, but are certainly fit for the purpose and so far they have been fine. The springs tension may need some re-setting at the outset to suit. They work well with my ST 100 Mountain Bike Shoes which I bought at the same time.

Great and love the fact I can be clipped in or lose and just free pedalling.

Bough a pair of these to replace similar that were getting old, they feel cheap and have been assembled badly, one would not spin and the other was stiff so i had to dismantle them and loosen them off but even then they are not smooth, i think they use square ball bearings, if you can afford it go for something better, if you are prepared to take them apart and reassemble them and you want to go cheap and nasty then these are ideal but the best place for them is the bin.

These pedals are well made but that does make them a bit heavy. Ok I know they are not road race gear but still, compared with equivalent Shimano pair I have on another bike they are not light. Also they need some disassembly to be able to adjust the tension for the clip in/out action. However, my main issue is with the bearings, which are as stiff as a stiff thing. I had hoped they would wear in, but they haven't yet... Overall, spend a bit more and get the Shimano ones.

Easy to fix on the bike. You have to remove one of the pedal reflectors to adjust the tension, this is easily achieved and goes back on easily enough.

Best of both worlds with these. You can run flat shoes or cleated. The cleats come in the box. You need to push the reflectors off to turn the screw for the pedal, but its easy enough to pop out and back on. For the price, worth it.

The pedal clip is stiff when first purchased but you only need remove the rear reflector of the pedal and there is a small screw which can be loosened easily with an Alan key.

Decent pedals for the price. The one drawback is that the bearings in one of the pedals are a little sluggish. I notice this has been an issue with other purchasers. Come on Decathlon sort it out with your manufacturer it can't be that difficult.

Whilst appearing to be good value, I haven't been able to use these yet until I can part dismantle them so as to free the bearings which are ridiculously tight. I would take them back, but it's a 50 miles round trip. Because of the way they are packed, it's not possible to check the bearings before purchase. If I can't free them off, They will be going back at some time in the future when I'm next passing.
