I *think* they are look keo compatible cleats, but I've wondered if there's any feedback as well. Been contemplating a switch from Campy Pedals as of late.

They use Look Keo cleats. They feel as nice as my Keo Max 2s. Better weight balance than the Keo Classics so they are easier to clip in to.

I have some of their SPD pedals, which are very nice. Super smooth to clip into and out of. So I wouldn't hesitate to go with these if I was in the market for road pedals.

Both the Flash and the Road pedal are marketed as "lightweight" yet they don't list a weight on their website?

When Shimano are so good, I'd end up avoiding them based purely on that.

im not that picky on my cleats, but like keos just fine. Was in the market for some Keo blades, are these competitive in the weight department to blades? colors are cool

It's QBP's house brand, they weigh 266g, are branded as carbon and, yes, they are Keo. Retail for $100. In reality, better quality than any Look pedal that I've seen in a long time

Shimano has limited distribution of parts in the US to 5 wholesalers, but pedals are not included in that agreement. As a result, many distributors have come up with their own brands to bring pedals to the market. They have a mtb pedal that isn't half bad...and it comes in colors...and utilizes multiple sealed bearings depending on the model you get.

cool.

good feedback.

i admit it, i'm a sucker for colors. may try a pair in the future. @100 bucks, they are on par with ultegra pricing roughly.

They also have a complete rebuild kit that includes axle/bushings/bearings/etc that is just plug and play. As long as the pedal body is good, so are you

Different lengths, too.

cool.

If you don't want the colors: http://www.vpcomponents.com/product/vp-r73h/ look to be the same pedal. Someone is selling them on eBay for $24.50.

Sounds great. Why don't they put all this info on their website?!?!?
