Advice for spd pedals

[hobbitonabike]

So for a milestone birthday this year I will be bringing home a Whyte 604 and having only been on the road bike till now I am after recommendations for some decent spd pedals. I use spd-sl on the road bike so am used to riding clipless. So hit me with your pedals people!! (Not literally obviously!)

They all do a vaguely similar job. Shimano M520 are usually the cheapest double sided, M530 have a larger pedal body etc

Shimano M520 for me too, as cheap as any and work perfectly. You'll probably need another pair of shoes to accept the new cleats.
NOTE: I purchased my M520's from Wiggle @ £16.99 and they came with cleats, I was pleasantly surprised as it was unclear if cleats were included.

I use m530 on my MTB but am swapping to single sided xt pedals so I can use it in trainers with my daughter on her MTB

Cheers guys. Also looking for shoes and am looking forward to being able to walk in them rather than sliding about like bambi! will check them out.

I thought all you need to do to convert double sided Shimano SPD pedals to single sided is use the plastic insert. All my SPD pedals came with the inserts(not fitted) to make them UK road legal.

I have 520's, XT and XTR's, they all do the job the main difference is price.
