SPD SL vs. Time RXS stack heights

[John H.]

Has anyone made the switch form Dura-Ace SPD SL to Time RXS?
How much did you lower your saddle?
I have seen the Shimano stack height listed as 14.4 mm and also 12 mm Time lists stack heght as 8mm.
Are those accurate measurements?
Is it safe to assume that the saddle would have to drop by the difference? That would seem like a big drop given that the Shimano system is already pretty low.

If anyone is interested, I had to lower my saddle by 3mm for the RXS pedals.

Hey man, we're all interested :beer:
- but I don't think anyone here has switched from SPD SL to RXS. I recall some folks posting about switching from Impact to RXS, and Look to RXS, but no SPD SL to RXS yet.

Folks who use the SPD SL's usually just love 'em. How do you like the RXS by comparison? The Time's usually have the lowest stack height of any pedal out there, but how do you like the float, the platform size, the elusive "feel"?

So far I like them, but I liked the older Equipe pedals too. I would probably still be on the equipes today if Time did not stop making the matching shoes with big and wide toe boxes. Once they moved to the yellow shoes and adapter plates it was all over.
