Advantages: Perfect for sporting or casual use. Disadvantages: None
important as the left side is screwed in anti-clockwise.
The pedals come with reflectors which need to be screwed in place if you are cycling in poor light.
You are also provided with a nice new set of cleats for your cycling shoes too.
The final contents of the package are a set of simple instructions for fitting and using the pedals, and a Shimano warranty.
Each pedal has a fitting by which the tension of the mechanism that locks on to the cleat can be increased or decreased. The idea is that you start with low tension which makes releasing easier, and when you are experienced, the tension is increased making the lock more secure.
Finally, these pedals are two sided.
One side has the cleat mechanism, for use with cycling shoes.
The other side has a simple platform for use with ordinary shoes or trainers.

The pedal kit is made to look like aircraft grade aluminium, and to be quite honest I have no problem with the quality, they do feel good, and are certainly sturdy. I have never heard of one breaking, even in an accident, however, I have ...
Advantages: Looks not at all bad. Disadvantages: Expense, need to be fitted correctly.
Momo Pedal kit.
I have used these, and find them as good as some manufacturers original equipment i.e. the pedals the makers fitted. These actually fit over the originals, so are in exactly the same place, just slightly higher. This of course means you have to lift your foot that little extra, which I find ever so slightly less efficient than the ones the factory fitted.
The kit is advertised as the Porsche style, and for competition use, although I doubt they have ever been used in comptitive racing, and are only in the "style" of Porsche ones.
As for the fitting of them, I must say that it is easy, although I must stress that they have to be fitted correctly, otherwise they become a hazard. Properly fitted, they are perfectly safe.
Now for the looks, in my humble opinion, they look tacky, although that depends on your own ...
