I have been using crankbrothers candy SL's pedals and have been very satisfied. I now want to make the jump to a road pedal. My choices have been narrowed down to 3.

Crank Brothers quattro pro SL.


Look Keo


and the Shimano SPD SL


I for some reason eliminated a campy pedal....**********?


I love the crankbrothers pedals and how easy they are to clip and out. The Keo is just sexy and the Shimano gets great reviews. With the quattro I could keep bike at same current set up as stack height is the same. The 2 other pedals may mean adjustments. The keo gets really great reviews. I have never used a Look pedal system before. I am looking for a larger platform to spin on. I would like any input on the 3 choices. I am set to purchase. Thanks/

I just changed to Ultegra SPD-SLs this past week after years of SPDs and MTB shoes. My daughter's gave me a pair of road shoes for Fathers Day, I used the SPDs for a week or so but I couldn’t stand that cleat sticking out. I love the SLs; I wish I changed years ago. I can’t speak to your other choices but I’m in for the SLs. I 'stole' mine on ebay.

I woul also take a serious look at the Speedplay X/2 pedal. I am very happy with these pedals on my 2005 Specialized Roubaix. The "free float" design has been a wonderful benefit for my knees, and the stability of the pedal -- cleat platform is perfect for all types of riding conditions that I've encountered. Easy clip-in and
release, full ride comfort, overall, a great pedal--cleat system.
Good Luck, and Happy Riding !!

Had ridden on Eggbeater SLs for about 700km. Found that there wasn't enough platform and that sometimes my foot would slip off trying to clip in and clear an intersection.

Switched to the Quattro SLs and have reduced the hotspots I feel, have more platform to push on while sprinting and climbing, and haven't slipped the foot at an intersection.

Do you have to get the Pro SLs with the fancy colours? They basic black SL can be had for $92 at https://www.fullcycles.com/product_in...roducts_id/285

I also have speedplay x/2 pedals. They really make your knees feel great because of the amount of float, and i have never had them come unclipped when i didn't want them to.

Choices would be 1. Quattro. 2cnd Look Keo and 3rd Simano SPD-SL. No the quattro don't have to be a team color. I may habe perfromance match that price and then they are always returnable.Quattro are first choice b/c I really like the in/out release of the CB products.When I was fitted for bike the fitter said a little float is good for me b/c knees tend to point inwards. I don't know if free float of the sppedplays woud be a good idea or not????

I think the new Time RXS look like the bomb (or a Klingon battle cruiser):

My knees like my Speedplay X-1's for sure.

I have the RXS carbons ($70 on ebay!) and I love them, but they are MUCH harder to get into than look style. They are also very sharp-as the nice tattoo on my lower leg shows.

I started off with look pedals then moved on to Campy Pedals. Which have been working great for me. Now if you have a shimano gear on your'e bike dont' go for campy, they will not get along Constantly fighting and after a while they will just unscrew themselves and walk away.

campy man here. Might have to take another look at them. Need to check out float,stack height ect..........

THey have been my favorite pedals on my bikes, I have the record, chorus pedals. Almost exactly the same basicaly finish is a bit different. They have a larger cleat which is part metal very light and easy to click in and out of but hold very securely. And considering my one track bike has a campy drive train and my road bike fits nicely And they look good

Any issues with the dreaded Look Squeak?? How is the basic cleat wear? I like the ideea that it is easy to engage and disengage. That why I like the CB pedals so much.

Kev

I have not had that issue to date, I have to replace them every 6-9 months. The plastic part of the cleat hooks on the front of the pedal. The metal part clips into the back of the pedal. Cleats are about same cost as look's.
