![]() ![]() My experience of Shimano’s XT pedals has been that the platforms taper down so much that they offer little in the way of foot support and essentially your foot is left free-floating on the cleat. Only the rear cleat retention jaw is sprung and, as with all Shimano SPDs, a 3mm Allen bolt on this makes for easy tension adjustment. The clip mechanism is fixed flat to the platform and isn’t sprung loaded to rotate back inside the cage, as the old Shimano DX downhill pedals were and DMR’s V-Twins still are. Internally, the Saints spin on Shimano’s traditional arrangement of cup and cone bearings, and on these the whole axle assembly can be removed as one from the bodies for easy maintenance. ![]() They’re also wider, with a bigger machined flat section in the middle and four pins studding each side. ![]() Like Shimano’s XT M8120 and Zee’s ME700 platform SPDs, the Saints have a similarly tapered side profile, but to a lesser degree, narrowing from 19mm around the axles to 12mm at the leading and trailing edges. ![]()
