Shimano PD-XT M770 Pedals

The XT range from Shimano offers competition level components at a reasonable price. These pebbles fit nicely into that design. They have an aluminium body with a slender chrome-molly axle that make them both light but also strong.

We put these on via the 8mm allen key and headed out, we had heard these are not great in the mud so aimed for some really bad spots. Straight out the box they are nice and smooth and easy to clip in. Once they got covered in mud and grit this didn’t change they were still easy to clip in and out. Depending on user preference you can adjust how hard it is to clip in and out if needed.

We found these peddles bang on for the money I’m sure you can get lighter but probably not for around the £60. They are rock solid so no real fear of reliability issues.
