Does anyone know if I can use the Wellgo WAM D-10 pedals with Shimano cleats?

Thanks

There’s a note on the page that says:

Compatibility
Compatible with Shimano SPD SH51 Cleats

Thanks. Don’t know how I missed that.

Are SH51 the ‘normal’ cleats?

51’s are single release I believe.

Why buy that crap with a DU bushing when you can buy a proper Shimano ball bearing SPD pedals like the m324, a530 or especially the new eh500.

Alex – because they’re £5 and get good reviews.

£5?

I’m confused.

The cheapness sucks you into a lifetime of greater frictional losses. At least ten times greater than dual ball bearings.

This bushing in pedals fad must be stopped!

Had a set of wellgo SPD types in the past before I knew better.

Sorry. £5 second hand. Used once.

My anecdata is: the only pedals I’ve ever broken were XTR SPDs. The pedal slipped straight off the axle. They were replaced by Shimano very quickly. My brother’s using my hand-me-down Wellgo platform SPDs. Red and black ones from ~1999. Still going strong. They spent their first decade being used in Devon sandstone/mud.
