Shimano pd-eh 500 UPDATE!

[@martinv.1311]

The weight is about 380g for both pedals.

[@procopiobucaio8840]

Changed the stock pedal pins to M4x8mm. Worked great.

Hi there😎 I hope you're in good health, wealth and waist! I must say all the points you covered about choosing a flat and SPD combo pedal which is absolutely spot on. And what I really liked about your short review is when you said "in a think about are you really going to use this kind of pedal"? Just a really good review because I was keen on them. I think I wanna stick to switching between shoes rather than spending €60 or 60 quid on this pedal anyway thanks again and have a good day.

Thank you for taking your time to write this comment! I appreciate it :)

They don't weight 380g each. The pair weights 380g. They weight around 190g each.

[@jeremyw.465]

Oh Sry for that mistake! Thank you for letting me know!

[@erhan6095]

I'm trying to convince myself to use clipless pedals. Thanks.

[@kristaps2010]

good review. I'm trying to figure out waterproof feet solution for cycling in city. trying to understand clipless pedals for commuting in London and ocational biketouring. Have 30 year old cleat pedals I tried once and broke my pinky. since then I left pedals on but using running trainers for cycling what always get wet in rain. maybe overshoes will help or designated cycling shoes with clipless pedals. thank you P.S. what is that sound? is it walking/running with cycling shoes?

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey, I recommend you buy such waterproof shoecovers because having wet and cold feet is a horrible feeling in my opinion and even if you buy cycling shoes, if they are not waterproof you can use them on them as well. To the Clipless pedals: I always recommend them because you can use your strength more efficiently and if you are scared to have an accident you can lighten the spring so it is more easy to get out. To the sound: yes that was walking and running with the clear on the cycling shoe ;) I hope I was of help ;)

[@JohnnyTheCache]

Thanks for the review! I bought the same pedals and my problem is that they release the cleats way too easily on the SPD side. Adjusting the strength screw does not help much. Another guy on Amazon Reviews describes the same issue. I have other Shimano SPD pedals and they are all normal except this one?

[@jeremyw.465]

For me it does make a huge difference adjusting the spring! I am able to turn the screw about five times, from very light to very hard...

[@JohnnyTheCache]

@@jeremyw.465 Thanks, i will try that today!

[@esavirtanen6418]

You try the SH51 cleats also, the pedal comes with the SH56 which are much easier to release. And of course tighten the screw which you already did.

[@maikwinter856]

I think the spring worn out. In my case the tension was great until I reached 2500km. Now with nearly 7000km the tension is not sufficient even if I turn the screw to max.

[@Gilbertoooooooo]

​@@maikwinter856hello, by spring tension not being sufficient, you mean that the shoes unclip from the pedals while pushing hard or spinning? Isn't that dangerous? Best regards.

[@N3XoRGaming]

Müssten die Spikes nicht anders rum rein? Spitzen nach oben, mit sie besser greifen?

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey, Die Spikes haben nur auf einer Seite die Aufnahme für ein Innen-Sechskant-Schlüssel. Würde man die Spitze Seite nach oben zeigen lassen wollen könnte man diese nicht fest genug anziehen...

[@xelseartheonlyone1267]

What are the dimensions of the pedal?

[@ukfan-0146]

What mulitool did you use in this video?

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey @Ukfan-01 I used the 👽 Alien2 Multitool. It is ok but next time I would chose a Multitool which doesn't contain any plastic! Like those from Lezine!

[@ukfan-0146]

@@jeremyw.465 thank you for the reply

[@davidgruty]

What comfortable shoes would you recommend for these?

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey David, that totally depends on what sport you are doing. Here is a link to SHIMANO's website where they have shoes for any type of riding. From road to gravel and mountain biking. bike.shimano.com/en-EU/apparel-accessories/footwear.html

[@davidgruty]

@@jeremyw.465 They are very fancy. The cheapest I found is 63 euros I have a 48 size, maybe my foot is too big for the pedal (when it is not clicked in)?

[@jeremyw.465]

@@davidgruty That could well be the case, since some people criticise the flat side of the pd-eh500 being to small and that it doesn't give enough security on the trail for example. With your shoe size being 48 I could well imagine that you also wouldn't feel to comfortable. Take a look at the SHIMANO PD-T8000 pedals. They have a bigger platform! bike.shimano.com/de-DE/product/component/deorext-t8000/PD-T8000.html

[@davidgruty]

@@jeremyw.465 I see. I mainly do touring (trekking) I got the PD-ED 500 as a present. I'll see if I can exchange them thanks!

[@BeyondLumination]

Great update on the pedals. Advice for your future videos, don’t say “one.” You are speaking to a viewer on the other side of the screen. “You” is more relatable and generally what is taught in digital media.

[@jeremyw.465]

Thanks J L, I just wanted to stick to one of the options: 'one' or 'you' because using doesn't sound good either, but 'you' as you say is probably better :)

[@dergourmet494]

Hey Jeremy, Your English is amazing and you‘ve made great progress since starting your channel. That said, I agree with J L. Keep up the good work!

Vielleicht doch lieber auf Deutsch? Die ganze DACH-Region versteht dich, für den internationalen Durchbruch reicht‘s eh nicht und alle anderen müssen sich nicht die stark verbesserungsfähige Aussprache antun…. Nur so als Idee….
