Can anyone tell me if there is a big diff (or what if any) between the shimano SPD-SL pedals models 7750 and 7800. I'm looking at upgrading my 17 year old looks and have 2004 Dura-ace groupset already. Seen some 7750's going cheap

I dont know what the difference is but I have a pair of 7800's. They are the best pedals I have ever owned. Been riding them since they first came out and have about 7000 miles on them. In case your wondering Ive rode Look, Speedplay, Record(Campagnolo), Wellgo, and Shimano. I think thats it. They are the smoothest and best feeling pedal around-I think-.

I think that the difference is that on the older version you cannot rotate your foot from side to side - but I am not 100% sure. (does it 100% depends on cleats?)

Dude . . . Ok, after 17 years on the same pedal I think you deserve to jump all the way to the top of the line. Go with the 7800.

As for the differences. There are only two and they are both cosmetic. The PD-7750 came out before the 7800 group, so the 7750 has a finish that matches the 7700 D/A group. When the 7800 group hit the market Shimano changed the finish to match the 7800. That's the biggest difference. The only other difference is a very slight change in the shape of the replacable plastic pad that fits between where your shoe contacts the top of the pedal platform. It's not really noticable unless you know what to look for.
