Can't go wrong at this price point and they just look great! The Performance Breakdown:The Flat Platform Side: Unlike older Shimano hybrid designs (like the A530) which could get incredibly slick in the rain, the EH500 features a textured aluminum body that accepts threaded traction pins. Shimano includes 16 screw-in pins in the box. Once installed, they bite perfectly into the rubber soles of normal sneakers or skate shoes, providing zero-slip confidence even when wet. The SPD Clip-In Side: The single-sided SPD mechanism operates with classic, crisp Shimano precision. It features an adjustable spring tension screw on the back. Out of the box, it’s set to a relatively light tension, which is excellent for anyone transitioning to clipless riding or navigating stop-and-go city traffic. Counter-Weight Balance: A common issue with dual-sided pedals is having to constantly "fumble" with your foot to flip to the correct side. Shimano got the weight distribution right here. Because the flat side is slightly heavier, the pedal predictably rests at a specific angle when you unclip. Once muscle memory kicks in, pushing forward automatically catches the flat side, while stepping straight down catches the clip. Build Quality & Axles: The chromoly steel spindles and sealed cartridge bearings are incredibly robust. They spin smoothly without any play right out of the box, and they can easily handle mud, dust, and washdowns without squeaking or binding. Review: Very nice pedals for a clipless shoe beginner - I am new to cycling shoes and clipless pedals. I wanted to find something that provided me with more flexibility. These pedals have the traditional flat size for standard shoes, but also offers a clipless option. I read many reviews, with some stating to just go full clipless. Reviews also referenced a feeling that it can get annoying to make sure you're on the correct pedal side. After using this pedals for a few weeks, I can agree with the last sentiment. While wearing standard shows, at times I find myself on the wrong side of the pedal and I have to take the extra time to flip it back over. However, today I purchased clipless mountain bike shoes and tried these for the first time. I felt like this was a game changer. When these were first installed, I was told do dial the adjustment back to 0, and then rotate 3 clicks forward. I was told this would provide the most flexibility for clipping in and out for a beginner. I found that advise extremely helpful and I love these pedals. I had no issues clipping in and out. I didn't fall and I felt very secure while riding. While I wouldn't choose these if I planned to primarily use the flats, it provides a great option for primarily using them with cycling shoes. I would highly recommend them to a bigger or someone that wants extra flexibility. ## Features - EH-500 MTB/Gravel Pedal in Aluminium Dual SPD/FLAT - Item weight: 150.0 g - Model Number: EPDEH500 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CDQ4K7S | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #141,716 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #291 in Bike Pedals | | Bike Type | Mountain Bike | | Brand | SHIMANO | | Brand Name | SHIMANO | | Color | Standard | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,127 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04524667866312 | | Included Components | Bike Parts | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6.69"L x 5.91"W | | Item Type Name | Bike Parts | | Item Weight | 0.38 kg | | Manufacturer | Shimano | | Manufacturer Part Number | EPDEH500 | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | EPDEH500 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 6.69"L x 5.91"W | | Product Style | Adjustable | | Style | Adjustable | | Thread Size | 9 / 16 inches | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SHIMANO - **Color:** Standard - **Item Weight:** 0.38 kg - **Material:** Aluminum - **Product Dimensions:** 6.69"L x 5.91"W ## Images ![Shimano PD-EH500 Bike Pedal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719cJQthqwL.jpg) ![Shimano PD-EH500 Bike Pedal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AMkiK+xkL.jpg) ![Shimano PD-EH500 Bike Pedal - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715-wAimSiL.jpg) ![Shimano PD-EH500 Bike Pedal - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71zvtxWieNL.jpg) ![Shimano PD-EH500 Bike Pedal - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DJmHN2qFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this for one pedal or a pair?** A: It's for the pair. Thanks for reaching out and happy riding! **Q: Would these be adequate for a magnetic resistance spin bike?** A: It depends on the type of bike and which side of the pedals you intend on using. Yes if you only intend on clipping in. I would not recommend using the flat side with a Peloton style bike that does not have the ability to coast, as this can cause a safety issue if your feet come off the pedals and they keep spinning. The flat sides have metal cleats that will do a number on a shin if you slip off. **Q: Are these pedal compatible with a mountain shoe?** A: Yes they're SPD type and specifically Shimano. Usually the clear and shoe have more to do with the compatibility. **Q: Since the seller decided to not include a $3 tool set for these pedals. What size do I need to buy from amazon?** A: I've never seen a pedal come with a hex wrench. Get a multitool. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect "half-and-half" pedal for gravel and urban commuting *by M***G on June 11, 2026* If you use one bike for multiple purposes—like weekend gravel or trail rides where you want to be locked in, but also quick mid-week trips where you just want to throw on sneakers—the Shimano PD-EH500 is the absolute gold standard for hybrid pedals.
