Great pedals great value, installed on my basement spinning bike

Work great out of the box. Speedy delivery. Ease to mount. Two allens included to mount and make adjustments to the tension on the SPD clip.

I bought these pedals as an upgrade for an 80's vintage Raleigh Technium sport/touring bike. The ability to wear street shoes for shorter around town hops and still clip in with SPD hikers for longer rides sold me on the hybrid pedal concept and these Bucklos fit the bill with solid reviews and a good price.The pedals themselves arrived in nice packaging and had a beautiful red annodized finish. The bearings spin smoothly and the spindle is stout, well machined, and very smoothly finished- so far so good. They were very easy to install with precise threading, a bit of anti-seize, and a 6mm hex key.My only disappointment with these pedals so far lies in the wear they exhibit after only a dozen or so cycles of clipping in and out during the process of cleat placement and spring tensioning. The alloy used in the body of the pedals seems very soft to me and I was shocked to see how chewed up they got in such a short amount of time. Admittedly, I'm new to the world of SPD pedals and wasn't the smoothest clipping in and out the first few times. Maybe it's just a simple matter of steel SPD cleat vs. aluminum pedal body...That said, I'm coming from 20+ year old Nashbar Look pedals that, aside from some paint wear, don't display any gouges, but Look cleats are plastic. Even the nearly 40 year old alloy SR quill pedals that came on the Technium seem more ding resistant. Maybe that's just the nature of the beast with SPD pedals and cleats, but I was unpleasantly surprised at the apparent ease with which the pedals became marred.

Excellent product

Easy to install (if you have the wrench!), durable and professional grade. Works great with my cycle shoes.

I've been using the BUCKLOS SPD Pedals PD-M680 on my gravel bike, and they're fantastic. The dual-sided design, with SPD clip-in on one side and a flat platform on the other, offers great versatility for different riding conditions. The high-quality construction feels durable and 200 miles later seem to be holding up great. After some adjusting on the tension of the clip, clipping in and out is smooth and reliable. They seem to always rest with the clips facing up which makes getting in and out of them easy mid ride or at a stop. These pedals have significantly improved my gravel biking experience, and I highly recommend them!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These pedals are fabulous. I used them on my first century and when my knee started hurting a bit unclipped and used the flat side for a few miles. They are heavy, so if you are looking to drop weight these are not it.

I put these on my spin bike so I could try my first clipless pedals and shoes, and so far I like them. I got some shoes and have been getting used to clipping in and out. It has seemed to help my knees and help me feel more secure on the bike especially when out of the saddle.I've also used the other side with regular street shoes or even my Oofos slides when I'm just going easy. I may try changing out the pins for something a little shorter, but they work great. I don't know if I will ever get to the point of clipping in on my outdoor bike, but inside I'm happy with these so far :-)
