Cycling > PedalsRated: ***** by 6 reviews.

RealCyclist.com (Spring 2009)

A carbon-injected body and titanium axle bring the Look USA Keo Carbon Titanium Road Bike Pedal down to a ridiculously light 95 grams. Three bearings in the spindle allow Look USA to minimize distance between the axis and foot and optimize surface contact area so 100% of your pedaling power transmits directly through the pedal to the rear wheel. Look USA used a Keo cleat which maintains delta patterns but reduces weight and increases contact surface. Adjust the spring tensions for customized entry and release tension and get ready for your next race. *Comes with 4.5-degree-float cleats, six mounting 5 x 11mm screws, and six washers.

Forget Speedplay

Rating:*****

After riding Speedplay Zeroes for a few years, I am now riding the Keo Carbons after dealing with chronic issues related to Speedplay's cleat design.

Overall, the Keos have been wonderful compared to the Speedplays; while the single-sided engagement isn't as brainless, the pedal platform is noticeably more stable, and is much more comfortable on long rides. The grey cleat offers as much free-float as I need, and unlike the Speedplay cleats, they don't require any constant tweaking or re-adjustments.

+ Way more stable, better comfort and power transfer
+ Less expensive cleats
+ Cleats require no constant re-adjustment (Speedplays have limit screws that fix the amount of float, until they worm out, at least)
+ Way easier to walk with these cleats, if necessary

- The cleats show wear relatively quickly with any sort of walking
- Single sided entry

FYI to the clipless-phobic out there: the level of difficulty of disengagement for both pedals are about on par.

A masterpiece, nuff said

Started using the pedals this fall and it has been a love affair.

First of all they are just a pedal right. No, these carbon beauties are solid as hell, the bearings are great. They mount with a simple hex wrench and don't require any special pedal or cone wrench.

The configuration keeps your foot very close the pedal axle and near the crank arm for maximum feel, minimum flex, and an aero stance.

At 115 grams a pop, they are light as heck and don't shatter your pocket book with a Ti spindle.

The non-skid cleat keeps me from looking like a penguin when I stop for my mid-ride java.

The included cleat covers come in handy if you are going to be walking for any distance in your cleats. Make sure you pop the cleat covers in your jersey because the cleat will wear fast on concrete.

Look continues it proud heritage in pedal with these.

These pedals are good fun

I was a diehard toeclip rider. Then, I saw an online piece about some very cool looking yellow Keo Carbons. Since they weren't being manufactured yet, I thought I would at least gain an understanding of why the cycling world went away from toe clips and installed these. They went right on and work as designed. The only thing I can think of that would be an improvement is a double sided pedal.

Feel Connected

Rating:*****

These pedals are solid. They are super smooth and they are nice and light without being in the insanely expensive category. The non-skid plates are nice because I don't fall on my butt everytime I stop at a gas station to empty the tanks. You cannot beet a look pedals huge platform and the configuration that puts your foot right in the pedal axle and close to the crank for maximum aerodynamics.

Great Pedals

Rating:*****

This is my second pair of these pedals. I got them to replace some old speed play pedals I had on my TT bike. They made it feel like a completely different ride. The speed play pedals had some lateral play, but the look have a much wider base. They have a much more solid connection.

SWEET DEAL!

Rating:*****

Awesome pedals for the price! These pedals are super smooth & really transfer the power well. I have noticed a big difference in the wattage output on the powertap. Highly recommend these pedals! & If you're considering the one with the titanium spindles don't get em, the titanium isn't worth the extra cash.
