Pedals, Ultegra or Dura Ace?

I have tortured 10 pairs of 105 in 2.5 years, all axles are bended. Any suggestions on a good pair of pedals for sprinters?

A number of people at my track use these. I have used them for three seasons with no issues. While I'm by no means a small guy, I'm also not putting a ton of power through them.

Second that, just got some and am impressed by them. I reviewed them in the "I just bought..." thread. Good stuff, fantastic price. I'd recommend getting some NJS straps to go with them though.

Definitely look at the DA then. Ultegra are essentially the same pedal as 105 in bearing configuration but made to be a lighter pedal.

I'm going to stick with Speedplay and put the track version on my Christmas list.

Exustar-E-PT107TK

High adjustable release torque, track straps holders, Look cleats compatible (I use black zero play with grip rubber inserts - good at banked wood straights) etc.

Would really recommend the VP pedals over these ones. Similar idea, VP gets it right with the strap placement, it is integral to the pedal (not a bolt-on like the Exustar), and the rear strap through that back of the pedal hinge (ala Hoy) is just genius.
