Longterm Review | 9 Months Aboard Shimano's Bomber Saint M828 Flat Pedals 

You forgot one very important thing....they’re beautiful. Awesome solid pedals

Picked these up for $50 from TrekSuperStore. What a steal!

Glad you opened them up. 👍

Couldnt agree more. Riding These since 2 years. Most reliable bike part I ever bought. Only now I think of servicing them

I'm still using my old original saint flat pedals and they have been bombproof. If I switch to anything it's going to be these

Loctite can be easily removed with heat. Heat the pin with a heat gun or hair drier and the pins should easily be removed.

I like them, maybe I'll switch from my Plastamps to these one day. Great presentation video.

As an SPD pedal rider for 20 years... these are my 1st set of Flats since i was a li'l kid... and that was 40 years ago

i would say Shimano is the best component supplier in the bike world. i usually install XT components on my bikes, never been disappointed yet.

Good review Wil. I'm a bit of a Shimano fanboy - for brakes anyway, and only use flats, but their flat pedals are almost prehistoric compared to my OneUp aluminum pedals...... Good stuff as always Wil.

Im using the smaller pins for enduro and havnt had any problems yet. I was surprised how well they work and they dont provide to much grip so you can move your foot a bit if you want but still have enough grip in rough sections.

Thanks Wil.

Incredible pedals. They are the best of my bicycle 💪

What are the thinnest pedals that you would recommend better the shimano

My only set of flats my go to with 5/10’s I love the grip I get from these otherwise I’m running clip less...Just got a set of Saints clipless cannot wait to see how they go ..

Good video, i just vent my axel againsg a rock. Big crash pedal as new acxel needs changing

I bought these pedals a week ago and they were spinning relatively smoothly out of the box . I took then on a leisurely 8 mile ride completely on road , and now they are stiff ,clunky and i noticed some bearing lube coming out . This happened to both pedals . Is this part of some sort of break in process or am I going to need a rebuild after only 8 miles ?

yesterday I got some used Shimano Saint PD-MX80 (the old ones) Does any one know any link from amazon to get new pins (5mm) for them?

What is the name and size of the tool to take the gold spindle out? Thank you.

so i just got the special axle tool and i CANNOT get this damn axle off. can anyone help me out?

Solid but ouch on shins

To add to my previous comment... Do Not buy these from Amazon. I had bad bearings out of the box , and have seen other reviews saying the same ,so it seems a bit hit or miss with these pedals as far as quality control. You're gonna pay shipping and restocking fee if you have to return them ($30) prices have dropped and you can get these at a reputable retailer. I returned mine and bought again from REI for less, no problem so far and I can return them whenever I want with no hassle if theres an issue.

proprietary axle tool end? why - the old saints were removable with a 20mm cone.. shimano!!!

I prefer the previous model, they look nicer too

Be warned, if you do slip on them, they will tear the shit out of you and leave some wicked cuts needing stitches. Use them without PPE at your own peril.

500g? 553g is real weight. And... it's to much for their price. Race Face Atlas, Dmr Vault, 380-410 grams for almost similar price
