Summary:
Stay away.
WQIth hesitation I write this review. I loved these pedals until last week.

Started creeking and then I discovered a full crack through the body (toe end). These were 3 months old - approx 1500km.

As I had purchased O/S during a business trip the warranty is not being honoured in Aus.

I can understand this - but not why they cracked during recreational use after 3 months.

I have photo's if anyone else wants to see.

Strengths:
Light weight

Weaknesses:
Reliability.
Cracking after 3 months is poor.

Summary:
I used the Look Carbon Keo Titaniums fro two years with no complaints until on a steep upgrade, while out of the saddle, I snapped the right pedal axle. Luckily I was not hurt. This obviously could have been catastrophic in other circumstances. I'm 6'0", 195 lbs. The bike shop stated that the rider weight limit should be 225 lbs.

Weaknesses:
Prone to complete failure, pricey.

Bike Setup:
Derosa dual, record, eurus wheels, zero g brakes.

Summary:
I have used these pedal for 2 years and loved them with no problems. Then, last weekend the right axel snapped, causing me crash. Just as I stood up and applied power, my leg dropped all the way to the ground, pedal body attached. Fortunately I wasn't seriously hurt, but I did damage my new Sidi shoes, gloves, and ipod remote.
I was on a off street, ped-pathway, but if on the road, I may have crashed into traffic.

Strengths:
easy set up
light weight
clean design
good release mechanism

Weaknesses:
Axels can break with stronger force

Dura ace, older look pedals.
