Warranty
This Shimano product includes a limited one-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.
You can trust this review, i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
the perfect clipless pedal
the only thing not perfect about them is that if you're wearing regular shoes and the pedal or shoes are wet, these are fairly slippery. Otherwise, mine have about 30k miles on them (by me alone) and I am the second owner. The bearings are still well adjusted and smooth. I use them on my touring bike/commuter. Shimano products are far superior to most of what competitors offer and replacement cleats are available everywhere.
I have heard that some shoes have tread that interferes with the aluminum body of these pedals. I have not experienced this, but surely worst case scenario you can cut off the bit of offending tread.

Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
These pedals install easily - just make sure you tighten them down all the way.
They are easy to click into/out of.
The best part is the heavy cage around them. Obviously not something you would want if you're trying to save ounces. But, if you're like me and you happen to smack rocks every once in a while, they'll protect your pedal from getting destroyed.
They come with the standard 51 cleats (single release). Upgrade to the 56 (multi release) and you won't be sorry you spent the extra $15-20.
Shimano PD M545 Pedals
These pedals are great for on the trail, I like them better than my shimano pedals without the cages. But since I am on my 3rd pair for the same reason everytime they break, it's time to look for something else. Everytime they break the "nut" on the outside of the pedal gets stripped and pops off and gets lost and then the cage on the outside just flops around. I have had this happen on the trail twice and although you can continue riding without any trouble you still need to address the issue when you get home, which is the $100 pair of pedals you bought are broke. The "nut" on the outside is just crap it's cast aluminum and not strong at all to with stand the mountain atmosphere.
I give these pedals 4.5 stars for design, but for the ability to ride hard and take a beating they suck and I would not reccomend them for true singletrack riders as they don't last. Which is why I gave them 2 stars for toughness.
