Shimano SPD-M959
Number of Reviews:   4
Average Rating:

Combining the easy entry and release of their popular SPD-M747, and the excellent mud-shedding properties of their newer SPD-M858, the new XTR-level SPD-M959 is the new standard in clipless offroad 162. Sealed cartridge bearings, Flourine-impregnated

Pros: They are light weight and easy to clip in and out of. They are easy to adjust.
Cons: After 2 or 3 rides, the adjusting screw fell out! It took the local dealer 4 hours to put in a new screw. About 2 or 3 rides later the screw on the other one fell out. I have been waiting several months to get a new screw!
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: Definitely not worth the money and the endless hassels. I want my money back.

Pros: Work well in mud. Easy to clip in and out of. I switched from my Time's to these.
Cons: Price. Have had to re-adjust multiple times because of cleat popping out too easily. Is very easy to adjust.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: I like this pedal alot. I never thought I would go back to Shimano after getting Time's, but they have stood up to lots of tests

Pros: Amazingly easy entry & exit, smooth as butter.
Cons: Price; but they are XTR-level.
Time Used: 3 Months
Comments: I've been riding these since March or so and I absolutely love them. They're much better than the 858's (which I also like quite a bit, and I think that puts me in the minority); they provide a very "solid" feel when you click in but are also super-easy to get out of and don't plug up with mud.
