These work great but the release adjustment is limited on the lower end; lowest setting is still difficult to release at times compared to all my other Look Keo pedals. Under poor road conditions I like the ability to pop out quickly
These are overall decent pedals, with some glaring shortcomings for me in comparing them to Shimano Ultegra pedals I've ridden for years, and factoring being a 6' 3" man. The pedal surface is smaller and with the shorter spindles, I find brings my legs in too close to my road bike for comfortable pedaling over long distances, even withstanding the 6 degrees of float the included cleats have. I also find that I feel the cleats more through my shoes than Shimanos, I surmise because they are smaller. The standard float of the gray cleats is a nice benefit, but doesn't outweigh having one's legs pulled too much inboard, so it more or less negates the benefits to one's knees and causes strain on one's hips. I also didn't find that they cleat in and out as easily as my Ultegras do, even with the tension set to the lowest setting. I found myself hunting for the pedal when cleating in after stopping much more than the Ultegras. Power transfer is good, but again, not as good as on the Ultegras and the smaller surface area increases fatigue by comparison. If they offered a larger pedal with a longer spindle, I'd say these would be good alternative to Shimano pedals for larger frame folks, or those with wide hips, but as they are, I don't recommend them.
