FAQs

This product typically includes the cage component only; please retain your original bolts or verify if you need to purchase new hardware separately.
Can I use this on a PD-M520 pedal?

How do I know which part is #5?

Troubleshooting

Verify that all mounting screws are tightened to the recommended torque specification and check that no shims or washers were misplaced during the swap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this cage, ensure you have the correct Allen keys and/or pedal wrenches to dismantle the pedal body. Consult the official Shimano exploded view diagram for the PD-MT50 to identify part #5 and its mounting hardware. It is recommended to clean the spindle and bearing housing thoroughly while the cage is removed to ensure no debris remains inside. Use a light application of bicycle-specific grease on threads to prevent future seizing. Regularly inspect the cage after technical rides for any signs of cracking or deformation to prevent potential failure on the trail.
