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

Look Keo Blade Pedals

I have gone through so many of these pedals
Mostly the hinge on the right pedal where I unclip wears out and cannot be repaired
Have also had the front edge where cleat meets pedal wear out
Does anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?
Thanks

The last pair was fine except the bearings developed play (which can be serviced, but well) , but I broke it in a crash. Current pair is holding up fine but not a lot of miles on it yet.

If looking for the ultimate in durability for a road pedal it'd probably be Shimano Dura-ace.

Bearings that hold the rear piece that hinges on back of pedal is servicable? How long does it last? I keep having this issue. I am very light but might unclip in a more forceable way then this pedals can handle

The rear hinge - I don't know. Maybe disassemble the whole thing, clean and regrease it? When Look pedals develop play and rocking (it seems to happen to all of them) disassembling the body from the spindle and cleaning and regreasing everything tends to help.

Those are more durable but not as light
Also they have a different stack from the keo blades so would have to change my bike fit on all my bikes
I like the pedals when they work but not when they break
