I bought these pedals after initially ordering the lower spec but decided I might as well go carbon as Sigma had a great sale on. Needless to say to pedals from Shimano are great. The service from Sigma was excellent; very quick turnaround and customer service.

Shimano R550 SPD SL Road Bike Pedals
An SPD-SL road pedal for entry-level use at a great price. The Shimano PD-R550 SPS SL Pedals offer a wide, lightweight resin body that provides a large shoe contact area to maximise power transfer and support, whilst reducing weight.

Easy to clip into and release, but with a stable fit for maximum power transfer to the pedals. Wider cleat and binding mechanism for better shoe/pedal contact than traditional SPD systems.

what tool do I need to loosen and tighten these pedals?
Hello, I can confirm that this would require a 2.5mm hex key. Many Thanks Liam
I am looking to buy Fizik R5B road shoes and want to know if the R550 pedals (cleats included I believe) will fit the shoes ?
Hi James, Yes, the cleats included with these pedals would work without issue on the Fizik R5B shoes. I hope this is helpful. Kind regards, Nathaniel.
