LOOK S Tracks Pedals

[leaboy]

Takes a few times getting used to, but I prefer the S Track to the Shimano SPD setup. Feels MUCH better when pedaling. So, not hard at all once you get into them. My 2 cents.

 

thanks, will test out the DSC Comp cleats first, hoping i'll adjust to it after a couple of rides

[Mr LOOK]

thanks, whats the recommended retail of the DSC Easy cleats?

About R300

is there anyone with a pair of quarts pedals that is up for grabs? Mr Look, did they completely discontinued the quarts, cause I cannot find a set anywhere?

Reading all of the remarks here it makes me almost regret choosing the Shimano's over the S-Tracks when I went for clip-in pedals. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy the SPD's but that's the only benchmark I have.

 

How much maintenance is required on the S-Track MTB compared to say Crank Brother Candy's?

How really hard are the standard cleats(DSC Comp) to clipping in and out?

Should I go buy the DSC Easy's off the bat?

 

The std s tracks are great they are not hard to un cleat

I can confirm that the are completely discontinued. I saw a pair of the Quartz Carbons at Cycle Tech in Kyalami a short while ago...you might be lucky there. I will send you a PM if a spot a set somewhere else.

I just changed from egg beaters to S-Tracks. Rebuilt my Eggbeaters in about 20-30 minutes, most of the time spent looking for runaway bearings.

 

Loved the feel of the S-tracks on the mountain. All the + of eggbeaters and ease but a much better platform.

 

Service of the S-tracks took about 5 minutes, of which the longest part was looking for my 19 spanner. As far as maintenance goes, S-tracks are way better. Also the mechanical design of the bearings and retention. The reason I tried the S-track's in the first place was that my eggbeaters came apart on my last ride with them! Pedal off of spindle! A design weakness.

Anyone have problems with burning feet? Since using S-track pedals, my feet and especially my toes are burning after about an hour of riding. I am currently using 1 black thin shim below the cleats on my specialized s-work mtb shoes. Any advice? Thicker shim? Move cleat forward/backward?
