Look Keo Pedals

[SadieKate]

One thing I learned: the amount of float is in the cleats, not the pedals. The red cleats have the most float (I can't remember exactly but think about 9 or 10 degrees; the grey ones (which I got) have 4 to 6 degrees, and the black ones have no float.

Thanks, for the good review. The smaller toe area is interesting to know. The float with all Look pedals is determined by the cleat, though I don't think the older versions have a choice of the grey cleat. I'll have to think about which one I'd want.

I had no problems clipping in or out on the Keos, but I didn't have any problems with the older Looks either. You can adjust the tension on the pedals and having less float also helps with unclipping. By the same token, I've never used anything other than Looks so maybe I don't know what I'm missing. I'm actually thinking of putting mtn. bike pedals on my old bike and getting Sidi Dominator shoes for that bike. I want to get whatever pedals are the closest to Looks just because I'm used to them (don't want to get confused when I go between bikes).

People keep talking about smaller women having problems clipping out of Looks. I wear a US size 6 and have bad knees. Never, ever, had a problem. I have to wonder if the release tension screws are not adjusted properly.

Just a note, I have Eggbeaters on my mtbikes and switch all the time. Not a problem. The release movement is the same and since they have 4-sided entry, you can just slam your foot down and away you go.

Thanks for info on the Keos, Nina.
