In this article I will review the Shimano Deore XT PD-M8100 SPD pedals, which are the default for mountain bike and gravel pedals. The new limited edition Shimano GRX SPD M8100-UG pedals are basically the same Deore XT M8100 SPD pedals.
I also have two pairs of Shimano XTR PD-M9100 SPD pedals (which we discounted) that are a bit lighter for the top end group and used by Pete Stetina on his Canyon Grail gravel bike.
In this article I will chare my thoughts on the Works Components Geo Chainring for Shimano Direct Mount. Beautifully designed “honey-comb-like” structure, that looks awesome on a Shimano Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crankset. The Shimano TL-FC41 Tool can be used to install this Direct Mount Chainring.
In this article I will review the 4iiii Precision 3 Power Meter on the left Shimano Deore XT M8100 crankarm. I’ve purchased the factory installed crankarm and exchanged it on my Scott Scale 925 mountain bike. I’ll have a look at the key features, the 4iiii companion app for Google Android and my experience so far with the power meter (without the find my feature).
