 Works great! Matches with LX. Made to Last. July 30, 2009

They're not as light as the cheaper pedals of this type; however, the spd attachment is top quality and doesn't break.
The outer area of the pedal is a very strong steel. The pedal's alloy core is colored exactly like the LX group, and as that is a trekking / touring group with the strongest materials and this is a trekking / touring pedal that has the same coloring and theme, then I believe that these are LX trekking pedals. As such, that means they work perfectly, all the time, and they're designed to last at least as long as a bike or two.
Worthy of note is that these are a bit easier to access the platform side, albeit the methodology isn't typical. Instead of flipping it or "scuffing" with your toe, you can just pedal "around" and set your foot right down on it when it's up. This is a bit faster than typical, so its possibly less distracting in city traffic. Also, the SPD attachment is quite strong, so if you happen to mash down with a sneaker, there won't be any damage to the pedal. This is the only "combo pedal" that I've been able to flip while going up a steep hill.
As for the weight, this might be the one SPD pedal that makes your knees feel better instead of worse. The somewhat extra weight adds a beneficial flywheel effect to the pedals which can make it easier to spin a faster cadence. That's quite good for training yourself to do well. It also matches up with the intent of the trekking / touring group in facilitating an easier, lasting, approach to a long distance ride.

This is second set of M324 pedals. They have excellent adjustment, ease of entry and exit..... The SH-56 cleats are supposed to be an improvement because of smoother edges..... They work very well....
Cheaper than the local bike store May 3, 2010

I saved $45 by buying these online through Amazon.com. I received them in 5 days and they took about 5min to install. Just remember that righty tighty, lefty loosey doesn't apply to the left pedal, it's the opposite.

I bought a set of these at my local bike shop because it was my first pair of clipless pedals and I am glad I bought them, even if I did pay a lot more as the mechanic gave me a lot of information about using them and set them up. I have them on my Trek 1.2 and I started using them by clipping in my left foot and using the flat side on the right and practiced stopping and clipping and unclipping my left foot, once I could do that I clipped in my right foot and used the flat side on the left side and practiced clipping and unclipping and stopping with my right foot. When I realised how it was so easy to use them then I clipped in both sides. When you come to a stop just unclip either side to put your foot down. I haven't fallen yet, knock on wood. They clip and unclip without problems. I ordered a pair of Shimano PD-M520 SPD Pedals to put on the Trek 1.2 and will put the Shimano M324 Combination Pedals on the Trek 7.2FX as I use that with different shoes such as sandals and tennis shoes now and then. I also use these pedals(M324)with a pair of Shimano SH-M122B shoes with SH56-PDS cleats designed to work with all open design pedals which allow your shoe to be disengaged by rolling or twisting the foot in any direction instead of just out. I am glad that I bought these and would buy another pair if I need them and would highly recommend them to others..Happy cycling.
Great pedals July 16, 2010

This is my first set of clipless pedals. I had no trouble installing them and with only minor adjustments to the tension and position of cleat on my shoes, I was off and running. Construction seems bullit proof. True they may be a little heavier than others by a few ounces but when you are considering a 20+ pound bike and weight of a rider, it is meaningless.
