About Shimano
In 1961, a 3-speed bicycle hub displayed at the New York Toy Show was the catalyst for what would eventually become Shimano American Corporation. The popularity of 20-inch wheeled bikes with hi-rise handle bars fueled a demand for multi-speed hubs and Shimano was producing an affordable and reliable version that caught the attention of the industry. So much so, that by 1965, Yoshizo Shimano, the youngest son of the company founder in Japan, opened an office in New York to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts.
Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, the goals are the same: to ensure that Shimano always has a listening ear to provide feedback on relevant trends and needs of the North American market for both bicycle and fishing products and make those a reality for customers.

Best Pedals For Clipless Beginers! I bought these pedals thinking that the first time of get on them I would 100% fall and break my skull in half… But that obviously didn’t happen (YET) but it will happen and its normal. Anyways let me tell you something’s to back up my review. I started with normal platform pedals pretty much on every bike I ever sat on, for YEARS, But there was never that feeling of efficientcy very rotation of the crank. I then tried out straps on the platform pedals but the straps were a very good option…
A necessity for bikers! If you are biking without these stop immediately and get them! You will be doing yourself a huge favor. Upon switching to these clip in pedals I nearly doubled my distance! It really makes pedaling more efficient even if you don’t realize it. The default unclip pressure works great for me but it is adjustable if needed. I like this specific model because it has a larger platform which allows me to pedal with normal tennis shoes on if I am biking around campus and don’t want to put my bike shoes…
