SHIMANO PD-RS500 SPD-SL single side pedals for road riding

The PD-RS500 is Shimano's budget-priced single-sided road pedal. Budget-priced but not budget-built, the RS-500 pedals feature beautifully smooth, low-resistance bearings, light weight and great durability. The RS500 pedals look great with a design modelled on the top-of-the-line DuraAce models. Cleat tension is adjustable, with a very 'light' starting point to suit first-time road SPD users.

Who is this product for? Probably first time road clip-in pedal users, or someone wanting a spare pair of pedals for their training bike or stationary smart-trainer.

The Bicycle Depot Top Technical Tip: The RS500 pedals come with the standard yellow SM-SH11 cleats with 6 degrees of float, which will suit just about everyone. If you have other requirements, check out the other Shimano road cleats, the red SM-SH10 with zero float and the blue SM-SH12 with 2 degrees of float. Whichever you choose, try not to walk on your cleats too much, this will wear them quickly. Inspect your cleats regularly and replace if they look worn.
