Venzo MTB Mountain Bike Sealed Pedals with Clipless Technology

Gus B.Gus B.: 500 Km of fixed gear riding.

This is an alright pedal, not particularly light and it has acquired some typical signs of wear so everything as expected. I kind of wanted them to have better bearings or have a hair less resistence when spinning but you cant really complain too much at this price point. The cleat has held up alright as well but I suspect that this might be because the Adidas Velosambas they're installed on are a little recessed so you dont really step ON the cleat itself, so most of scuffing comes from stepping on rocky surfaces. Overall, I am satisfied with the durability and how well they've worked for the price.

Green Shadow's Fire🔥🔥🍏🍐🍈🌱🌲🌳🌴🍀🌿: Very similar to shimano and other similar spd pedals. The picture showed is shiny flat pedal surface but the one I got is painted over? but weighs the same so I decided to keep it. I use other brands cleats works just fine maybe a lot of float but I can calm it down when tightening the adjustment bolts. The left cleats I have some issues clamping it in not sure if thats me or the pedal issues? the right side works fine I'm just having issues with the left? I will test it and if it still can't clip in with ease then I'll probably return and get another one just to see if it solves the issue?

Alex: I have no issue with this retailer (they sell legit products and have honoured their 2 returns for me with minimal issues including a non-Amazon sale) but I'd fallen multiple times with these pedals before returning them. Weight is as advertised - but either the design is flawed or the manufacturing tolerances are not appropriate, as even with minimal tension there were times where the cleat would remain locked in when performing a full twist, and the spring mechanism felt a little loose and got worse over time. I've since used M520s 2-3 times a week for the last year - they are heavy but work, instantly fixed my unclipping reliability issue for good, and the clipping in/out feels extremely crisp and has not noticeably deteriorated over that period.

R. Endymion: As a lifelong cyclist who rides on a daily basis (300+ kms per week), these pedals are just as good as the entry-level Shimano offerings. Wouldn't trust them for anything technical (i.e. XC or gravel riding), but they have performed very well on my commuter bike. Bearing seem well-sealed, float is good and overall quality is robust. Would recommend!

Matt Armfield: I bought these to replace Venzo's other clipless pedal that has a platform on one site to ride with regular shoes.
Initial Setup:
Easy to install and get your "clipless" shoes setup and riding quickly on my hybrid aka comfort bike.
New Bike:
Moved these to my new road bike and reset my "clipless" shoes with the bicycle shop's direction. These are very easy to clip in and out of and make a huge difference when you are riding.
Final Thoughts:
Don't let the idea of falling hold you back. You will fall once or twice because you are going to forget to unclip. If you get in the mindset of "I'm coming to a stop or stoplight, I need to unclip now", you will get used to this quickly. Unclip with one foot and lean your bike on the unclipped foot. Leave the other clipped into the pedal and rotate the crank backwards until you can get that foot into a takeoff position when the stoplight changes. It will become second nature in the matter of a few rides and you won't think about it again.
I highly recommend these as a good starter pedal to get used to them. It made a world of different on my comfort bike in what I could do going up hills that I had struggled with for a...

ロード乗り: シマノのSPDペダルに良く似た造りになっていて、ガタも無くしっかりしているが、材質は安っぽい。回転は物凄く重い。中国製の安物ママチャリに付いているプラペダル並み。ローラー台用に買ったので重くてもかまわないが、道路を走る気にはならない。

dc: I'm not really much of a bike rider, but lately I've been going on some longer trips (about 20 miles once a week or so) and decided that it might be worth my while to invest in some clip in pedals. After reading about the two main types of clipless systems, I decided the SPD-style pedals would better fit my bill and budget, and desire to stay around $100 together with shoes. Installation was a breeze, once I purchased an additional wrench to get my unexpectedly heavy old regular rectangle pedals off, and these Venzo brand pedals slipped right into place.

I haven't had any issues with the tension of the clipping mechanism after three solid rides so far, though I did have a bolt fall out of my shoe causing the shoe to get stuck clipped into the pedal -- I releasing the tension all the way got the shoe out but the small metal piece which the tension screw screws into is rather difficult to get back into position if it happens to fall out.

The included cleats fit nicely on the shoes I bought and other than some embarrassing falls and general awkwardness getting in/out of the pedals, I haven't had any issues with these pedals. If you are a beginning cyclist like myself...

Phillip A: There are fancier more expensive ones available...but I've had the Shimano style for years... comfortable with how they work. Look to be high quality out of the box for a great price.

Michelle Fernandez: Excellent pedals & great value for the price. The pack included the SPD clips as well.
