I want to take the breaks off of my fixed gear. Are these pedals strong enough for me to use as breaks?

I don't know because I use them on a 21-speed road bike with hand brakes, but I don't see why you couldn't do what tou want to do. They are sturdy enough for my 220 pound body mass when I tand on them.

I think that they can be used with speed play pedals as long as you have the clips. I am using the Shimano SPD-SL PEDALS with cleats.

Yes.These pedals are adequate. However, if you're looking for pedals as good as Shimano...not these. The clip in/out is not smooth. Quality is not high.

No. The wheels and fork are not compatible with disk break. Wheels and fork cimbined are expensive. They might cost $400-500 for a decent one. I suggest buying a new bike with disk brakes at that price range

Technically yes but they're not very good when used with spd pedals. The cleats move around a lot (much more than a standard float) and unclipping is almost impossible. You'd be much better off with the mountain bike version of these (Shimano SH-M088).

Short answer, "No." Longer answer, that's really more a function of the pedal and how you've adjusted it, than of the cleats themselves. I bought some cheap Wellgo commuter pedals whiich I use with these cleats, and was generally pleased, but had a couple of unwanted releases at the default setting, I tightened the pedal one turn, and am quite satisfied with the release tension. Your mileage may vary, but it's the pedal, not the cleat, that will define the release characteristics.

I have not used them for any serious mountain biking, just across fields and gravel roads, but I think they would be OK. Be aware that these are easier to release than standard SPDs, and that does increase the likelihood of an unintentional pedal release.

The breaks can slow down as long as slope is not steep. Breaks are not as strong as those found on a bike.

I suppose you could do that but it would defeat the purpose of the product. I wouldn't recommend this product anyway, because you can't change the tension of the pedals. Fork out some dough and get yourself a real stepper.

they probably will work, bet with the good grip the pedals get you mite not need them.

Pins will be mostly ineffective for winter boots but I can't think of any pedals that would be significantly better. These will work is my guess (I am not planning on trying it :)

Unfortunately not you'll need your front brake as your main way of stopping coast is the free spinning hub side so back pressure will just turn your pedals backwards freely and not engage the gear

Actually, there is a different mechanical advantage (think amount of cable pull) on these levers than for levers intended for cantilever brakes. True, some people have used these levers for cantis, but that might result in poor braking power when you need it. I would recommend buying the shifter pods alone, and buy brake levers separate. Not only will your brakes work better and more safely, but you can replace the individual parts when they wear out, rather than have to buy a full new set when just the shifter portion wears out. Happy riding!

They are not very sturdy. Foot will slip off. If the pedals do not have where to install them you will have to use pipe fasteners.

Yes you will, but they do not have asmuch surface area or grip as true platform pedals.

Yes, they are quiet after a year. Of course, you can put all your weight on them.. I am 205 lbs. They are the best platform pedals on the market. I've put about 4500 miles on the set that I have now. If you don't require clipped pedals for competition or severe riding, platform pedals are the way to go. Metal pedals are much better than plastic and the Bigfoot pin pattern is the best.

you should be able. if you want to pass me your email and I send you a photo of the pedal support
