LOOK Quartz MTB Pedals- ARRIVED

[Mr LOOK]

There's a special tool needed to open them(same tool as used for Keo Classic or Keo Sprint). Most bike shops do have this tool. There's a set of roller bearings fixed on the axle and a set of internal needle bearings in the body. You'll be ale to change the axle with the bearings no problem.....when they become available from LOOK. Thus far I've either serviced or replaced pedals myself.

I have also serviced my road pedals myself, just need grease from time to time... but with the grit and stuff in the mountain i hope the seals on the Look is better in their mtb version.

 

I read a lot of reports on accidental disengagement. seemed like an issue before. has this been sorted or is it a setup problem with spacers etc?

 

[Mr LOOK]

I found that a few of the 1st generation Quartz pedals did have the tenancy to unclip easier due to the softer spring. It's all sorted with the new pedals with the stiffer springs. It's also very important to follow the instructions when fitting the cleats to make sure you do get your stack right.

I bought two of the very first sets to land in the country. One for myself and one for my riding buddy. Both of us used SPD's prior to that, with me using some Times in between and before the SPD's.

 

 

 

Since the launch I haven't tried or experienced anything close to the Quartz.

 

Hurt my knee in a nasty crash Nov last year. When I got back on the bike I rode flats and SPD's on a demo / loan bike and immediately had issues. Changed to Quartz and the pain was gone.

 

 

 

They clip/unclip without any issues, never experienced an accidental unclip and they are still going strong even after a couple of year's abuse.

 

 

 

Cleat set-up takes some time and can be a bit of a pain. Pain in the ass, not in the knee so you'll be okay!

 

But if, like Mr Look says you follow the instructions from the get go it'll go quicker than "trying to be a wise-ass" first.

 

 

 

Cleat life is slightly less than Shimano, but not much. Maybe 80% or so. What I have found though is that unlike SPD's you still won't battle to clip when they're on their last. Clip in will feel softer and unsure with bit more float.
