Just any FYI, I purchased a set of these and one had a bad bearing or defect (clunk/pop while peddling). Had to return for another set, which doesn't have the problem. Kind of disappointing for...

Nice deal on these pedals. Every pedal has its pros and cons but you can't go wrong with SPD-SL. They're practically bulletproof and work great.

These pedals are tied to a specific cleat format for the component as well. Peleton uses a delta pattern which is different than spd-sl. If one purchases this for a pedal replacement then you would...

I do have R8000 pedals, buying set of pedals to get cleats seems unreasonable :)

Agree. Lots of power transfer with these. Biggest con is the duck walk when u get off the bike

Agreed. If someone is having ankle issues it probably has more to do with bike fit, shoe fit or cleat position. Basically user error. The parts might be cheap but you need to dial it in.

I have been using SPD on my mountain bike and SPD-SL on my road bike for many years and have never had any foot, ankle or knee issues from them. Most of the people I ride with use the same pedals and...

Oh I did not know that, that's good info.
Honestly I wasn't even aware that SL's go vertical at all untill I saw them on a buddies bike. As a super newb, I had double sided SPD, cause I was...

These are SPD-SL (not SPD), they go vertical when not clipped. I have the 500's, they are perfect SPD-SL's for newbies "Designed for beginner road riders". Double sided SPD are probably best for...

These help to use your full pedal stroke. If you plan on doing longer rides like 20+ miles these will help a lot.
