Shimano SPDs is the XT £60 better than the M520

Which Ti axle kit? Apparently the ones that reuse the stock bearings won’t last…

XTRs make me feel warm and like I’ve won at life. Could I actually feel the difference over 540s? I wouldn’t like to do a blind test! They’re also the only ones I’ve had to service more than once a decade, and the only ones that I’ve ever managed to break (Hit them hard on a rock, repeatedly).

Snapped the cast body on one the other week – clipped a kerb on my winter road bike…

We still have PD-M747s going strong in this house…

I have 520s on all of my MTBs, and have never serviced any of them. They’re all over 10 years old and are still functioning just fine.

YMMV
