Which Pedals?

[stephenmarklay]

My Look Keo Classic pedals have some play in the axles. They have given me a lot of service and I think its time to replace them.

I am thinking Look Keo 2 Max but wanted to know what others I should look at.

I've got classics and keo 2max pedals. I like them both, but the 2max is a much nicer pedal. Go for it.

If by "others" you mean "other than Look", Times are nice. Big contact area, lots of float, and I generally like the way Time puts the retention mechanism *below* the pedal platform because I prefer the feel of the lower resulting stack height. My aluminum bodied Impacts show no signs of giving up -- don't know how durable the new models are. Time continues to offer the Impact-style RXS I suspect, because they are just that good.

Had been riding Look pedals for a long time on my singles. But I switched to Shimano SPD_Sl because a) the bearings are the best b)last a long time c)solid d)walkability.

Also, for a long time our tandems are equipped with SPD-Sl pedals. So, seeing how solid the Shimano pedals are compared to Looks and the fact that I got tired of making sure I brought the right shoes to ride starts, I made the switch on my singles.

+1 on Shimano SPD-SLs...ridden quite a few different ones but everything just feels right.

I have about 1000 miles on the Look Keo Blade 2 cromo with 16nm release. The larger platform seems to be noticeably more comfortable to me and I have been on Looks since 1985.........

Keep the responses coming. I am going to pick up a set today.

I agree on Shimano SPD-SLs. I have 5 or so sets, never a problem with any of them.

SPD-SL. I kind of miss the ability to clip in on either side that other pedals offer but I am hooked on the wide platform. I am pretty good at clipping in now.

I found some used Dura Ace 7810 on ebay for a silly cheap price. Got some new Ultegra carbon, Ultegra and some 105 on this forum also for a silly cheap price.

Some high zoot shoes made a huge difference for me as well.

Spd-sl.

If you want some bling at a good price the 105 level pedals are now available in carbon.

[jtakeda]

If bling and weight are of concern I'd go keo blade.

If you just want something that works and is comfortable keo 2 max.

I don't give points for "walkability" because walking is extremely limited when I ride a bike with road pedals.


If walkability is of concern, time atac.

DA 7800 on one bike, Look Keo Carbon II on the other.

like both sets of pedals.

the Looks have a very low release force, even with the tension setting at max. but, it's never caused any issues so can't say it's really a problem.

SpeedplayZero-2 sided, rebuild able, adjustable float amount, most adjustable cleat position(l-r, fore-aft). Also if ya fall and kill a pedal, you can buy one pedal.

If ya gotta have Look style, shimano SPD-l...better, more durable.

I have been on Looks since 1985.........

Nobody told you how to clip out???
