FAQ

Do cleats come included with the PD-EH500?

No. SPD cleats are not included. For commuting, SM-SH56 multi-release cleats are recommended since they allow easier exit in multiple directions when stopping at traffic lights or unexpected situations.

Can I use the flat side in cycling shoes without clipping in?

Yes. The flat platform side works with any shoe. On days when you are not wearing SPD-compatible shoes, simply use the flat side. The pedal automatically presents whichever face you want to stand on.

Does the SPD face on the EH500 work like a standard SPD pedal?

Yes. The SPD clipless face functions identically to a dedicated SPD pedal -- same cleat engagement, same release mechanism, and compatible with all SM-SH51 and SM-SH56 cleats.

Best For

Commuters, urban riders, and cyclists who alternate between cycling shoes and street footwear who want clipless efficiency available without committing to it for every ride.
