Those who had the M520 SPD pedal - did you ever experience 'hot spots' on rides?


Reason being ...

I need an SPD pedal for a read bike ... and will be riding in a big city. (Lots of stop lights).

Debating about the M520 or the A520 .... just heard that the A520 isn't soooo great for clipping in and not weighed properly.

So for a beginner biker (1st clipless pedal) who does 2 hour rides in a major city ... M520 or A520?

I understand that you're considering between the M520 and A520 SPD pedals, but you've heard that the A520 may not be optimal for clipping in and may not have an ideal weight distribution. As a beginner cyclist who will be doing 2-hour rides in a major city, you're wondering which pedal would be the better choice shimano m540 vs m520- the M520 or A520?

So for a beginner biker (1st clipless pedal) who does 2 hour rides in a major city ... M520 or A520?
Any input is appreciated.

Thanks!
