AndreZA Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The 7800 are the narrow ones with the plastic contact patch right? Well I would go for the DA just because it's made from metal. The Looks will be quite lighter.
Mr LOOK Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 shimano is much more durableI'm not sure where you get that from?
Bike Mob Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 LOOK all the way... I have the Keo's and the disengaging is nice an easy but still positive and have never disengaged by mistake. I tried the Dura Ace pedals, nearly snapped my knee joint trying to get out of them, and felt like the float was vague.
Willehond Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 shimano is much more durableI'm not sure where you get that from? Well, I've gone through a pair of Keo Sprints in a year as the plastic contact area just wore out. I hope the new metal plate helps with durability, but I think parabat has a point. Not sure what to replce my Keo's with, but I'm seriously considerng Speedplay, but I wat to find out about wearof their cleats first.
Captain Slow Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 LOOK!!!If its good enough for Contador & Armstrong, it will be good enough for you!!
AndreZA Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 LOOK!!!If its good enough for Contador & Armstrong' date=' it will be good enough for you!! [/quote'] I'm not falling for that line ever again. I feel like a freak with just one nut.
Captain Slow Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 And TIME? when you hear the gong it will be precisely 16h06......

orbeaorca Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 I really like the look of the keo max 2 and was keen to get a pair.After reading the link Mr Look posted on another thread, I am starting to have my doubts. These Dura ace pedals must be very good if lance had persisted using them all these years. Why would a legendary weight weenie like lance use pedals which have always been heavier than the competitors, if they did not have amazing performance. I think he just wants to be able to jump on a teammates bike so he does not end up being stranded like Cadel was with a flat on the mountain in the tour. I will probably just get me the sh*tmano pedals since dont have a team of biomechanics to asssist me with the transistion. CWCCYCLES have the duraace pedals 7810 for sale at R1550 which is on par with CRC and way cheaper than other shops. And I can go get them tommorrow http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/02/bikes-tech/tech-brief-look-at-lances-new-pedals_103764 orbeaorca2010-02-09 16:45:04
