Strengths: Float. Low stack height. Injection lube port. Solid lock-in.Weaknesses: Practice the wide, heel kickout to disengage.Bottom Line: Best road pedal for me. Float easy on knees. Low stack height. solid lockup. "Somewhat" easy dis-engage. (Seems to take a little practice each spring.) Easy setup and maintenance. -- Don't understand reviewer's comments about maintenance. Grease injection port. I spray a shot of dry teflon lube on cleats and pedals before each ride. No worries. I have the cafe covers for short walking. Will buy again if/when necessary.
Favorite Ride: rolling hills on new asphalt
Bike Setup: Schwinn Paramount Ti, Reynolds fork and bar, Syntace aerobar, Rolf wheels

Strengths: Weight, adjustability, smooth bearings, low stack heightWeaknesses: Price, maintenance, coffee shop covers aren't includedBottom Line: I decided to go to these pedals after having a few issues with my old Shimano Ultegras. Although the price was steep on these, I think they're worth it if you take the time to set them up properly and care for them.
At first I had a little bit of trouble engaging the cleat, but I am a very light rider so bigger riders might not have this problem. Once engaged though the pedals feel wonderful. The adjustability of the float is great, as is the cleat positioning ability. This might be the biggest reason people get these pedals and really they can't be beat there.
It must be said that these pedals do require a lot more maintenance than do others. It has taken me a while to get my cleat setup just right (I'm still kind of working on it...). This can be good though because even if you aren't initially comfortable, the pedals offer enough adjustability to where to can definitely make them comfortable. You also need to grease the bearings more often because of the design. However, I have noticed that the pedals feel very, very smooth. It's also advisable to purchase the coffee shop covers to protect the cleat. It would be nice if these were included
Initially I used Sidi Genius 5.5 shoes with these pedals, and although they worked just fine, I had to use the 3 hole adapter that you must use with any 3 hole shoe. I recently changed over to DMT Prismas after being intrigued by the 4 hole design, and these definitely make a big difference. Without the adapter I got lower stack height and weight. With this setup I think that this pedal system is flawless.
Overall I think that this is the best pedal system available. The adjustability, 4 hole integration, weight, and smooth bearings all contribute to a phenomenal feeling and performing pedal.

Strengths: adjustability
I like the fact that i can shift the shoes al the way to the cranksWeaknesses: clicking in doesnt work for 1% of the time. Especially when it's wet???Bottom Line: i got a good deal from my employer, a colleage used theme for some time, and recommended them.
Clicking in is a bit tough the first times they say, probably why i sometimes have to retry clicking in. We'll see.
The feedback through the pedals is amazing
The look the stuff aswell. In al sorts of colours:D

Technical aspects - lubing / set up
Rotational MovementBottom Line: Right this is an update review for these pedals:
I used these now for 8months, Jan to Sept..and still am on them.
I've 3 pair of shoes - it pays to have a spare when it rains!
I had to replace a pair of cleats due to the guides for the circlip/spring to 'stay' where are.
I bought another 2 sets of cleats for my other shoes.
I'm amazed people have had the padals go wrong on them. I suppose sum people need setting up on a bike? - read the reviews!
I'm a hard rider on my pedals and can give them some Welly ;) - I haven't lost screws, the limit screws do move I feel this is because of the plastic housing. They need regreasing every so often, especially after a good soaking / heavy downpour.
Spraying dry lube - PTFE spray into the open ports on the cleats keeps things moving every so often.
The butterfly sections on the top of the pedal wear which cause the rocking motion - design floor perhaps?? Better to get that side to side 'movement' of the cleat sorted prior to screwing it down l
The weight claim is a joke - Time's are well lighter unless you got about a 1000 to pay for the Nanograms???
Entry - How people can just 'step down' is beyond me..they need more care than a front lip design pedal.
