Price Paid:
$23.00
at pricepoint Bike Setup:
Litespeed w/ 9sp Dura-Ace. FSA SLK compact crank. Summary:
For the price, the pedal is good. Having used a Shimano Dura-ace ( "Lance" style ) look compatible set for 15+ years, I felt almost no difference.
They are SLIGHTLY harder to release, but I have had no issues getting in or out. The maximum tension is as good or better than the DA's. If you have weak knees, have never used Look style pedals before, or are a recreational fitness rider who clips out every other mile these may not be for you. If you want high release tension for sprints, then these are fine. I always use the black fixed cleats, so I can't comment on the cleats provided. ( You should be checking your cleats about once a week anyway, for wear, comparing them to a new set. In a pinch, you can put layers of duct tape on the pedal to firm up a worn clean, just a temporary fix.)
The cornering clearance on these is a bit low, so I would not recommend using these for crits. They do have a bit more ankle clearance to the crank as a result however ( which I needed after switching to an FSA compact crankset ).
I'm sure the durability is not very good, and the bearings are not sealed or silky smooth, but when you can buy anywhere from 5-10 sets of these for the price of one set of Looks depending on model, you really shouldn't be complaining about that, now should you? Strengths:
Super-low price. Lightweight at 290 grams. Weaknesses:
Cornering clearance. Durability. Similar Products Used:
Shimano Dura-Ace Look-stlye ( the 'originals' from 1990 ). Other Look models.

Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
These pedals look the part and weigh the part - but the performance leaves something to desired. Clipping in is a pain with these pedals, and even as an experienced road rider who has been using these pedals for months, I am still unable to get these pedals to immediately engage with 100% success. This means more fumbling around in the intersection, and more swearing than should be necessary.
On the plus side, the pedals are relatively light and look nice. Still, the black finish wears off very quickly.
You get what you pay for. Strengths:
Light, they look OK, cheap Weaknesses:
Frustratingly hard to clip into, not very durable, crappy finish Similar Products Used:
Look PP206, Look PP396

at Nashbar Favorite Ride:
Torrey Pines Climb Bike Setup:
Lemond Zurich, Ultegra 9 spd, Rolf Vector Comp wheels Summary:
I've always been tempted to try out the Wellgo pedals because they are so cheap. At first I was a little nervous about reliability/dependability, but I'm finding these pedals to be pretty good. They are light (285g) and the adjustable tension works smoothy... I reccomend the lowest tension setting or you'll never get out of them. All around, I think these will work well as a backup set of pedals for a racer or a great touring pedal. (also sold as Nashbar Special Road Pedal) Strengths:
Really light (285g), extremely cheap... 20-30 bucks, replacement cleats are dirt cheap, and fairly smooth on the road. Weaknesses:
Tension is too tight when above lowest tension setting... Similar Products Used:
Speedplay, Look 256, Coda
