I have a set! Pretty slick and as easy as they make em out to be.
Only problem is they flip themselves upside down in resting state due to their weight. Little clunky to use since you’ve gotta fish the pedal for em every time you get on.
But I like em and use em as a gravel rider that likes to occasionally run errands on the bike.

going cross-country this summer with spds and i bought these as soon as they were released. cool concept but i can’t imagine using them beyond a few miles around camp – they’re too slippery to ride any longer.

I bought them. They do go on and off very easily.
Biggest downside/annoyance is they weight one side of your pedal, and flip over when not in use, and so the platform faces down.
So, you will have to toe flip them upright when you get on the bike. Minor but annoying.
I notice all their ads and displays, like in the pics above, show them upright and ready to be stepped on. That won’t be how they are on your bike IRL.
They’re cool I like them a lot I bought them so I can ride to work without changing my shoes and I’ll probably take them on my biking trips too now

I have the dual sided ones already but these look solid if you don’t

I always have flats so I can wear whatever I want for anything I want. I have yet (five decades of riding bikes) to find a scenario where I wanted to don special, uncomfortable shoes for special pedals.

What is the point of a 3rd party product when shimano already makes a perfectly good half-cleat-half-flat pedal? Am I missing something here

Gotta be better than hybrid flat/SPD pedals that somehow always end up with the side you don’t want facing up.

shimano sold this type of adaptor widely in the 00s
everyone hated it so shimano stopped selling it
Just buy a PD-A530 and do it right the first time

If they made those with screws I‘d get a pair

I’ll grab a set once they change or add colors. They picked the weirdest colors for the first release lol.

I use them around the shop for doing maintenance rides on clipless bikes. They’re kinda awesome.

Just ride flats, cleats are a marketing ploy

Still a good product IMO.
