Was looking at the XT SPDs on OnOne for £40 but they also have the Shimano PDM540 SPDs at £25...looking at the spec, I can't see any difference!?! Worth the extra?
Then again are either worth the extra over the PDM520 at less than £20?
go 540s
better bearings than the 520s and no difference to the XTs
Got 2 pairs of 540 - faultless.
I reckon they're the same as XT, just slightly different colouring.
I Run one pair of 520 and one of 540....they are both great. Spend the extra if you want but the 520 does the job is easily serviced should you ever need too and if you wreck it your wallet won't take such a big hit.
Fashion or function? yor choice
FLATS RULE!!!!!!!!!
On a 3 mile constant climb, SPDs are like a gift from the Big Man himself.

520 vs 540 is fashion over function??? I didn't realise paying £5 more for the 540s would give me the fashionable option 😉

Anyway, think I'll go for the 540s over the XTs as I can't see the difference. Cheers all.
