That’s not a bad point. If you’re not interested in weight, then the PDM540 is a great pedal. Has the same architecture as the XT and XTR, but I suppose it’s just a bit heavier, and may not be quite as well sealed. Plenty of people love them, and I even keep a set around in case I need new pedals on short notice. It just wouldn’t feel quite right to run them on my high zoot, custom built gravel race rig.
