FAQ

Q: Are these pedals suitable for beginners? A: Yes, the PD-RS500 is specifically designed for entry-level use with lighter spring tension optimized for beginner riders. They're easy to clip into and release, making them perfect for riders new to clipless pedals.

Q: What cleats are compatible with these pedals? A: These pedals use Shimano SPD-SL cleats. Three types are available: SM-SH10 red (fixed, 0°), SM-SH12 blue (2° front centre pivot float), or SM-SH11 yellow (6° overall side-to-side float). They will not work with SPD (mountain bike) cleats.

Q: How do these compare to SPD mountain bike pedals? A: SPD-SL pedals like the RS500 have a wider cleat and binding mechanism for better shoe/pedal contact and improved power transfer compared to traditional SPD systems. They're designed for road cycling with a larger platform, while SPD pedals are smaller and recessed for walking.

Q: Do these pedals require much maintenance? A: No, the PD-RS500 features a low maintenance sealed cartridge axle unit that protects the bearings from dirt and moisture, ensuring long-lasting reliability with minimal upkeep.

Q: What makes the wide platform beneficial? A: The wide pedal platform provides improved foot/pedal stability and better power transfer. The open design also allows for easy access when clipping in and makes cleat adjustments simpler. At 320g per pair, they offer good stability without excessive weight.
