- In this latest bike and trike instalment, Bike Hobo (aka: Trike Hobo) Steve Greene discusses two Shimano pedals, the PD-M520 and the PD-M324, providing his personal thoughts about which pedal best serves riders based on their own individual pedaling needs. The Shimano PD-M520 is dual sided with SPD retaining mechanisms on both sides, whereas the Shimano PD-M324, while dual sided, has the SPD retaining mechanism on only one side, with a standard pedaling platform surface on the other so that regular shoes can be worn while riding. Steve shows and talks about each pedal type, tells why he is choosing one over the other, and then discusses how to install pedals on crankarms.

Thank you for your review. I realised that I would not buy PD-M324
Glad I could help out! I would also recommend at this point in my own evolution of pedaling that avoiding SPD pedals totally may be the best solution to achieving the most power while avoiding any foot discomfort. Here are the pedals I have been using now for almost a year:

I have done several other videos on these pedals, which I absolutely love, on this channel if you are interested. I would never go back to SPD clipless, even though I was a clipless user for many years!

@@doublewhopper67 With SPD clipless, a human powered recumbent trike rider does not realize the full power potential of each pedal stroke because he is only pedaling on his toes (forefoot), thereby losing power in the articulation of the unstable ankle. The power stroke from the leg is not being directly met with the counter-force of the pedal when using a clipless setup. The counter-force is pushing against the forefoot, which has no backing in the force vector. I have seven videos on this channel that examine this issue if you are interested.

PS: This is all from the perspective of a recumbent trike rider, not a diamond frame bicyclist.
São ótimos pedais
