    Price Paid:  $0.00

    Favorite Ride:
    Gatineau Park, Quebec, Canada

    Bike Setup:
    Giant TCR Composite Zero, full Dura-Ace, Mavic Ksyrium SL wheelset, Easton carbon seatpost, Profile ElitePro carbon cranks

    Summary:
    At first I loved them and now I hate them! Not sure what happened, but they absolutely suck now. I'm having a heck of a time clipping out. It seems like the only way I can get out is to 'heel-in', which I hate doing. The pedal platform is very soft too! I definitely think that Shimano failed on this pedal. I'm thinking about going back to my TIME pedals or buying a pair of LOOK pedals.

    Strengths:
    Look good, but that is about all!

    Weaknesses:
    Impossible to clip out of...
    Soft metal platform...

    Price Paid:  $0.00 at Glenn's Cycle Shop

    Favorite Ride:
    Reclamation loop, Fort loop

    Bike Setup:
    does not matter

    Summary:
    At first, I hated this pedal. Getting in and out was dificult. In fact, I fell over so many time because it was so hard to get out of it. I put a few drops of sewing machine oil in the pedal where it contacts the cleats, and voila...it became perfect. Getting in and out was 100 times easier. IMO, this pedal is great value for the money. It weighs the same as teh PD-6600s of Ultegra.

    I'll give it a 4 because it works well, but is not light enough.

    Strengths:
    Cheap
    easy to get in and out of
    tough

    Weaknesses:
    Does not look as cool as the Look pedals
    Not very light

    Similar Products Used:
