Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I haven't used the new ones, but the platform looks a bit wider than my Ultegra pedals. The finish looks different as well.

Yes, the 6620 is the new one. If you find the right deal on the 6610, I would take it. They have been great pedals, and I can't imagine needing much more out of them.

I found them both at Jenson and the 6610 is $145 and the 6620 is $139.99. Seemed backwards. ????

I'll sell you a pair of the older ones for $100. They have less than 500 miles on them. Raul can deliver them to the high desert.

You can get the new Dura Ace pedals for $156 (free shipping) at probikekit.com. They typically have new Ultegra for $96.

The springs on the new ones are MUCH stronger. I set mine to the very lowest tension. If I go any higher than that I can stand on one pedal and bounce and my cleat won't snap in.
:O
But I love them. ...A lot. Wider platform is noticeable to me, and I have a smaller foot.

DAMN, the Dura Ace are $156 at PBK. That's almost the same as the Ultegra at Performance. Plus, PBK has free shipping and a 5% coupon code. I think I'm goin that way.

+100, The tension spring is definately stronger. I also had to set the release tension to the lowest setting and it is still stronger than my old 6610 and 7800 pedals.

The design is suppose to be an improvement over the older 6610. It is wider and has a metal platform instead of plastic for durability. Both 6610 and 6620 cleats should be compatible.

As mentioned they are wider and have a bit tighter springs. They also add a metal wear plate that can be replaced where the 6610 had a plastic wear plate. I think the bearings have been improved as well.

Yeah, these were designed off the same wider platform that the new DA were, and I found them (the new DA) a lot more stable.

all of that...the biggest complaint about the old ones was the plastic plate breaking.
