Shimano PD-M324 Pedal
The shimano PD-M324 mountain bike pedal offers excellent versatility in nearly any situation. These specially designed pedals are marketed as a “dual pedal” or two pedals in one, and are a great choice for the rider who needs or prefers this style of pedal. What makes it so special is that this pedal features a regular platform on one side, which allows you to ride with regular shoes if you choose, and then the other side has an SPD style retention system that allows you to ride clipless.
The platform side is great if you don't always want to change shoes just for a quick spin. You will not get the efficiency of the mountain bike cleat system; however, you also do not have to worry about the proper biking cleats either. This side of the pedal can be used with nearly any shoe that you wish to wear for this recreational bike ride. Once you get where you are going on your bike, you will not have to be bothered by that annoying clicking sound that cleats tend to produce.
The other side of the Shimano PD-M324 Pedal is for those hard core mountain bike enthusiasts that are looking for more efficiency than what is possible with sneakers or sandals. You can click your ATB shoe into the clipless ATB pedal, and you will be sure to make the ride as difficult or easy as you wish and be able to achieve any level of performance, depending on your personal preference and what you are looking for in a bike ride.
Who Should Buy The PD-M324?
The Shimano PD-M324 pedal is a great choice for someone who is learning to ride clipless. You have the comfort and ease of use of the platform side of the pedal and then when you want to practice riding clipless then you can simply flip the pedal over and clip into the SPD style cleats. It is also perfect for a recreational style rider who may need the power and efficiency of clipless pedals one day but then just rides the bike casually the next day. No need to change gear or swap pedals, the versatility that this pedal provides makes it perfect for this kind of rider. It's slightly heavier than some of the other designs but that's the trade-off for the versatility and someone learning to ride, isn't going to care about a few grams of weight anyways.
