Shimano pd-eh 500

[@whichdoctor4858]

Good vid! Just fitted mine. I’m finding they release so easily - handy for beginners.

[@jeremyw.465]

Yes, but that just depends on how fast you tighten them with the hex wrench ;) So they are actually good for all! And for beginners I would recommend to loosen fully, like I did, because then it's easier to get out again and not be have an accident 😬😉

[@samdeur]

thanks for the vid.. nice bike btw..looking in to buying these for my new bike..

[@marcmarckeeper]

Thanks for your review, please update the pedals performance when you have time, thank you.

[@jeremyw.465]

I already filmed it so I just have to find the time to make the Video! I think it will be finished in the next few weeks :)

[@jefflilyea4669]

I've got crank bros. double shot. Same thing . Awesome

[@godfriedwopereis4953]

Good pedals. Also a nice bike you have.

[@Williamgillan-y5v]

What shoes do I need,as I have never ridden a bike where cleats are needed

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey William, there is no specific brand that sells them, just find one which fits you and which has the SPD System integrated. I for instance ride some Shoes from Vaude, but any Firm will do ;) Cheers!

[@2mvX]

Very good review! Thanks!

[@moldovanraul3678]

The thorns from the pedal began to fall down. What can I do?

[@jeremyw.465]

Hi Raul, as far as I can remember there where some Shimano Replacement Pins for PD-T8000 / PD-EH500 In the package but if not you can buy them separately and screw them in with an allen key. Be careful to buy them in the same length as the other which are still on, since there are two different sizes! To make Shure you buy the right leanth just take out one and measure it. Hope that helps ;)

[@florentsinghathip5290]

They look sleek and nice 👍

[@ОлегТемпов]

They have to be vertical all time, so you should know what side is spd. Something is wrong with yours I guess.

[@Nicky458itl]

only on-road spd-sl model that vertical all time, not on mtb spd model that normaly have double side clip.

[@RxPravda]

Ty for the vid, what is the name/brand of that white grease paste you used to put on the pedal thread? Thanks.

[@jeremyw.465]

Hi thx, I usedHigh performance oil from the brand "Atlantik" (German) Amazon: www.amazon.de/-/en/Atlantic-Brillantfett-wei%C3%9F-mit-Tefl/dp/B001DGIAT8 This one is from the same brand, not exactly the one I used but I couldn't find mine, probably because mine is many years old (it holds a very long time) ;)

[@warpampee]

@@jeremyw.465 i just got mine and already installed.it in crank. I forgot ro put grease. Is that okay?

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey@@warpampee I would strongly recommend you to take them off again and put grease on, since that only takes 2 minutes and you will prevent the pedals from getting stuck in the thread of the crank arm, because then it is really difficult to get them out again and they will rust over time. Just like I did it in the video and also: you don't have to tighten them very tight since that also makes it difficult getting them back out and it's just not necessary . Just give them a good pull not more ;) Hope I could help (Update Video is ready to be uploaded, so stay tuned🤘)

[@THEBHGROUP1]

Are the pedals black in colour? They look more blueish

[@jeremyw.465]

They are blueish-grey ;)

[@PedroPauloMdeM]

Now can you make a review after some months using it, would it be nice.

[@jeremyw.465]

I hope to do that some time but I sadly haven't got the time at the moment to make a Video about them because other videos are in the making and I'm still in school which takes up a lot of time... But next year after my exams I will make the update Videos and let you know about the pedals and the saddle ;)👍🚴‍♂️

[@29203811919]

Are these pedals compatible with shoes that have three holes on the bottom? What cycling shoes do you recommend with this?

[@jeremyw.465]

Sry for not having answered your question! On the following website there are different types of shoes and compatible cleats listed and as far as I know one cannot use those shoes with 3-holes with the SPD-system (rather with the SPD-SL or so called "Look") so they wouldn't be compatible with the SHIMANO pd-eh500 for those you would need shoes with only two holes (also listed on the Website) "Find the Type of Cleat Wedges to fit Your Bicycle Cleats" blog.bikefit.com/bicycle-cleat-cleat-wedge-compatability/ I hope that's still helpful for you!

[@jefflilyea4669]

They make 3 hole spd. Look on Amazon

[@jefflilyea4669]

Amazon has 3 hole spd cleats

[@suanshine]

Is it hard to find right side not watching on it?

[@jeremyw.465]

No, it's actually quite easy! After a few rides I got the hang of it and of course sometimes the wrong side is on top, e.g. on the left side, -->then lift the left foot of the pedal --> turn with your right foot the pedal half turn around the ax --> and then the other side of the left pedal will be on top again and you put your left foot back on! And of course at first you'll have to look if you turned it far enough, but if one practices it gets easier ;) I hope I could help you👍🚲

[@danielchan9515]

What spanner size did you use to install the shimano pedals?

[@jefflilyea4669]

I use an Allen wrench when possible. Got a crank bros multitool

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey Daniel, I used a 15mm spanner (open-end wrench) that is the norm as far as I know ;)

[@jefflilyea4669]

@@jeremyw.465 usually a hex drive (Allen wrench) on the end of the spindle

[@jeremyw.465]

@@jefflilyea4669 that's possible as well but with a spanner you get more torque, that's why it's the option I recommend :)

[@jefflilyea4669]

@@jeremyw.465 true, but I use a torque wrench 😉

[@victorsilva6325]

Hello friend, how is it to ride with the platform side? Thank you.

[@louis8913]

Had the exact same model and switched because of the too narrow flat side. I tend to use the flat side more often than the clipless side and can’t really recommend using that pedal with normal shoes. The flat side is too small for my size 10 shoes, leading to a lack in contact and aching feet. So, if you plan to use the flat side more often than the spd one, you should look for a pedal with bigger surface.

[@Williamgillan-y5v]

@louis8913 what shoes should I buy for the SHIMANO SPD Pedal PD-EH500 0 As I am new to this

[@neilchristianguiang4163]

Would the shimano AM9 shoes is good match for this?

[@jeremyw.465]

Yes they do ;) On the underside on your shoe you have a few holes in which you will need to put the SPD Clip, which will be included in the pedals packagin and them your good to go 🚴‍♂️👍

[@jaspersoucoup7870]

What is the "Fat" you are putting on the Peddle? like product name.... Good video tho :)

[@csn583]

@@jeremyw.465 lol, FYI, "fat" and "grease" have some overlap in culinary meaning, but English speakers would never call synthetic grease used in mechanical things "fat". (:

[@jeremyw.465]

@@csn583 thanks a lot^^ I've been calling it "fat" or "high performance oil", but true both aren't the right words! When it comes to "mechanical words" I'll have to learn some vocabulary ;)

[@toddkinden9944]

Jesus YOUR HANDS ARE BEAUTIFUL

[@jakubk6165]

When you're clipped in, is the foot in contact only with the SPD cleats (like in the case of a usual SPD pedal) or does it also touch the surrounding frame? If the pedal was constructed in a way that your shoe touches a greater area, this would provide more comfort.

[@fasy16]

im using the same pedal. and ur foot is only in contact with the spd because of the shape of the pedal

[@jeremyw.465]

Exactly as @davidrebi123 said, on that side of the pedal where the SPD-clip-system is on one doesn't touch more than that because the flat side is curved away from it as can be seen on the following picture: images.app.goo.gl/7QenRQru99kNomsT6

[@Wlodek1410]

Good job, i have the same shit in emonda 21, the are good.

[@monkeyx17]

would they be suitable for a road bike

[@jeremyw.465]

Hey Tommy, that totally depends on if you are only going to use them when going on a ride or if that is your bike to do everything with. Because they are made as an all-rounder and as such they are really good, but for using them only on your Roadbike I would rather recommend such ones which have two non lipless sides since that is more comfortable. So it depends on what you want to ride with your bike and if you want the option to also be able to ride a flat side now and then. Hope I could help 👍

[@paranoyasix7271]

Sandalen mit Socken. Deutscher geht's nicht XD Wie sind deine Erfahrungen mit den Pedalen? Bist du zufrieden? Danke für dein Video :)

[@jeremyw.465]

😂 Hi, ich hoffe schon länger ein Update-Video zu machen, da ich, was "normales" fahren angeht schon sehr von den Pedalen überzeugt bin. Ich möchte sie jetzt aber erst noch beim Mountainbiken und auf Trails testen, damit das Update einfach umfangreicher ist und ich ehrlich sagen kann, für welche Bereiche sie meiner Meinung nach zu empfehlen sind, denn "perfekt" als "Allrounder" sind sie auch nicht. Leider Hab ich im Moment aber viele andere Projekte und zudem noch das Abi, weshalb das wahrscheinlich leider noch ein bisschen brauchen wird ;)

[@Expertcouch.]

Не понятно..

[@watdafuk21]

What kind of cleats can be fitted on them?

[@jeremyw.465]

On this website or different types of shoes and compatible cleats listed. blog.bikefit.com/bicycle-cleat-cleat-wedge-compatability/ On the SCHIMANO pd-eh500 as far as I know only the SPD fit on so those shoes with 2 holes Or syllable holes as seen on the following picture: images.app.goo.gl/Y26ELV1W62zdz3Cg6
