Bike Setup: Colnago C-40 w/ Campy Record gruppo and Mavic Cosmic Carbones (racing), Heliums (racing) or Open Pro
Summary: Have had Looks since I started riding and invariably had knee pain whenever I changed the cleats. Recently changed cleats and knee pain reappeared. Thus made the switch to Time, as I still wanted a platform pedal. Knee pain went away immediately. Worth the price for that alone.
Strengths: - Great power transition
- Simple cleat system eliminates constant adjustments after changing
Weaknesses: - none

Bike Setup: Calfee Tetra-Custom with 700c rear and 650c front. Zipp wheels and full Dura Ace components with a Carbon X bar.
Summary: I've read somewhere that G. Lemond swear on this types of pedals. They're the best. I'd like to try speedplay x1's but not anymore. 5*'s on value since I feel like I've stolen this one from someone else.
Strengths: easy to use. lots of lateral movement which is good for my knees and other joints.
Weaknesses: weight. but with the new Ti's, they're decent besides, if I'm suppose to shave some weight, I'll trim my beer gut.

Bike Setup: Serotta Titanium Legend, Dura-Ace, Mavic Wheels.
Summary: I used Time Criteriums and Titanuim version for 5+ years. Averaging 6000 miles a year. My predominant ankle for releasing from the pedal, grinds and pops from the cartilidge being worn down by the very strong spring tension on the Time pedals. -Switched to Speedplay X2's with no spring tension -just a simple clip.
Strengths: Good for cornerning, especially when grinding pavement, smooth rounded surface -no hard edges to get caught on pavement.
Weaknesses: The spring tension is so strong to release pedal that it has worn down cartilidge in my ankle. Also hard to step into pedals once cleats are worn.
