Thinking of buying a pair. Anyone using them. Any good?

Typical Shimano - really good. Nice thin platform, plenty of pins, good grip, bearings seem well sealed and based on previous Shimano pedals I'd say they will last forever. The pins can be made short or long with the supplied washers (a bit of a faff to change but not difficult, about 20 mins a pair). All in all, for £60 I don't think there is much better imo.

This. Except I got mine from Ribble for £37 (Sorry crashtestmonkey!) so even more of a bargain.

They're a lot like the MX30s I had before except feel nicer to use (Shape of the platform I guess) and are a little thinner which is always a blessing on modern low FS bikes.
