Using these pedals is easy. Just clip in your shoes and start riding. When you want to unclip, simply twist your foot. Make sure to adjust the 6 pins on each side according to your preference for better grip. There's no maximum rider weight limit, so riders of all sizes can use them. To keep your pedals in good condition, clean them regularly, especially after muddy rides. Check the bearings and the double seal system periodically for any signs of wear. The 5 - year warranty means you can ride with confidence, but if you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer. Also, be careful of rock strikes, as even though the pedals have chamfered edges to reduce their impact, too many strikes can still cause damage.
