It's really not that difficult but the tools are not included. Do a search in youtube and you'll find plenty of instructions.

The pedals come with full instructions. All you need is a standard pedal spanner and a tube of grease, and it's an easy 5 minute job. The most difficult bit will be removing your old pedals, it may need a bit of strength to get started.

Fitting instructions in many languages are supplied. You will need a 15mm spanner or allan key . Remember RH pedal has normal thread direction, LH pedal is opposite. Pedals are marked L or R.

It does come with instructions but i didn't need them, my knowledge on pedals is low but I managed to fit them easily in 5 mins. All you need is an Allen key, and I managed to remove my standard pedals ok and fit these ones.

The same as any pedals. All you need is a 15mm wrench. Remember that the left pedals have reverse threads.

answer 6
Pedals are quite simple to install, just remember one is left hand thread - you can check by inspecting the new pedals threads - when fitting the cleats to your chosen shoes apply a little grease to the threads and check they bolts are tight during your first ride as they can sink into the sole of the shoe initially.

They come with cheap cleats, but also buy yourself Shimano SPD MTB Cleats instead.

answer 2
Yes the pedals come with a pair of standard Shimano SH-51 cleats and the mounting hardware (fish plate like thing and two counter sunk allen bolts per cleat)

The pedals will also accept the multi-release Shimano cleats.

This also applies to the A520 pedals

I can't see how you would attach a strap. They are a very smooth, rounded design.

answer 2
I wouldn't pick these pedals for that kind of use simply because the straps I've seen are mounted through the holes on the sides of pedals which these pedals just don't have. I'm not an expert on the subject so don't take my word for granted.

Compatability
I have never used cleats before but do have a pair of Shimano SH-MT33L shoes. Are these compatible (and would I need a special tool to fit them to my Ridgeback bike)?

Yes,shoes are compatible.
You'd need pedal wrench or 15mm ordinary wrench/spanner to install pedals on bike.or if you prefer allen keys,you could do it with 8mm key.

answer 3
as long as your cleats are spd type check with your dealer if the shoes will take spd cleats. The pedals should fit all all crank arms but remember left pedal has left hand thread, again if in doubt check with your dealer, if a dealer fitted the pedals and cleats for you i would imagine it would only be a small labour charge.

answer 4
As long as the shoes have the fittings for cleats they will fit. The only tools needed to fit and and adjust are Allen Keys though you may need a peddle spanner to remove the old pedals
