Has anybody used these Shimano pedals?

[bnd]

Just wondering if they are worth the money?
I'm looking for a new set for my cruiser. Yes, I'll be racing again.

Anybody?

You're going to race what again??
Please, no spandex on this bike...
Seriously, indoor should be a blast this year, like 2 full racks of 41 & Over cruisers kind of blast.
Just remember... real men race class and cruiser!

we have no class

bruce running shimano's again? that's almost as unlikely as bruce daring to get in a 41cr gate again.

I've tried the XTR pedals-but on my xc bike, not bmx. Similar to DX's . The platforms are small, and not very useful when trying to ride them clipped out (not that the platforms on 454's or dx's are all that useful either). I think they will hold up better. The 454's have those plastic end caps that tend to break after 6-9m of normal use. They are lighter too. I was going to have Ethan try a pair and will get back to you on how they do for bmx.

I bought 2 pairs, the XT & the cheaper version.
I put a pair on my mt. bike today & went for a decent ride. Iv'e got to say that these things are pretty darn good. The platform is just big enough to keep the pedel from rolling over & over when out of the pedel & then trying to find it in a hurry.
These things look to be about 100 grams lighter than your typical 545 platform/popup & 150 grams light when you go with the XT version.

I'm putting these on both of our bikes for the indoors. Performance Bike Parts is where I got them from.

I also bought the cheaper version and put them on the mountain bike and have loved them. When I bought them the selling point was weight is really the only difference from xt's

I think these would work great on the track
