I'm looking to switch pedals on one of my all-steel road bikes, the Ritchey Classic.
I now have Shimano Deore XT pedals, the 770 model, which have a 10.3mm stack height.
I am looking to install Shimano Dura-Ace pedals, the 7900 model, which have a 14.3mm stack height.
So, do I simply raise my saddle by 4.0mm to adjust for the pedal change?
Or is it more complicated than that? And in what ways?
The shoes are as comparable as possible, using Sidi Dominators with the mountain pedals and Sidi Genius with the road pedals.
Suggestions and perspectives are much welcomed.
