Shimano PD-M520 SPD Pedals | Black with SM-SH51 Cleats
Shimano PD-M520 SPD Pedals — Black, Cleats Included
The Shimano PD-M520 is a compact clip-in pedal for riders who want an SPD shoe connection without a large pedal platform. This black version includes SM-SH51 cleats and is sold as a pair of pedals. It is a practical option for mountain, gravel or everyday riding when your shoes are compatible with SPD.
What the design does for you
Both sides have a binding, so you can engage either side after a stop. The open space around the mechanism gives mud and debris somewhere to escape. Adjustable spring tension lets you change the effort required to clip in and release; it does not change which cleats fit.
The aluminum body keeps the pedal compact, while a chromoly steel axle supports the load. A sealed bearing cartridge axle helps keep routine maintenance straightforward. These are clip-in pedals, so choose them around your shoe and cleat system, rather than treating them as a broad flat pedal for ordinary shoes.

Fit checks before you order
Use shoes that accept the two-bolt SPD cleat system. SPD and the three-bolt SPD-SL road system use different cleats and bindings. Check your crank's pedal thread compatibility before installation.
Common questions
Are cleats included? Yes. This listing includes a pair of PD-M520 pedals and SM-SH51 cleats. Shoes are separate.
Can I clip in on either side? Yes. Both sides have an SPD binding.
Will my road shoes work? Check the mounting holes and shoe manufacturer's cleat compatibility. A three-bolt-only SPD-SL shoe is not a direct match for the included SPD cleats.
