The Mercedes among SPD-SL pedals?

- Marcel, 26 May, 2022

Previous Ultegra pedals lasted 8 years. Only now in need of replacement. Well worth the investment! Compare it to a Mercedes vs. a ... One point: prefer the type designation on the side (like the old 6800 series).

Pros & Cons

Top quality
Prefer the Ultegra type designation on the side.

Product with fragile or faulty bearings and mantel 0/20 in soap

- Auré, 22 April, 2022

Product arrived with little fluidity, I thought it would improve after a while but on the contrary the grease started to come out of the axle, result hard point, the bearings are certainly out of order in less than 3000km and mantel for only answer tells me that it is not guaranteed and that I only have to go to my bike shop...

A comfortable and quality pedal system

- Gary, 12 February, 2022

This is a great quality pedal and the price offered by Mantel was between €30-€50 cheaper than some of the other online retailers I usually buy from. The SPD pedal provides a slightly larger footprint compared to other pedals and of course the extra 4mm space on the axel is great for anyone with a wider foot and hips.

I have not yet been contacted by the carrier and Tampico store to refund the difference in shipping costs.

Very good pedal

- Stephan, 10 June, 2021

Have driven the last 20 years LOOK Keo. Actually, I was always satisfied. Annoyed only the cleats, which at some point began to squeak. Now drive the Shimano Ultegra pedals. My first impressions are -certainly subjective- very positive. The Einklicken goes more precisely, I'm faster "in it", the connection is secure and my yellow cleats allow a light and well-dosed mobility in the pedal. I now use the 4mm extended axle and have found that this is very comfortable to ride. How long the yellow plastic dots on the cleats will last remains to be seen. When walking, I find them very comfortable. However, they also wear out quickly. Basically, the change was for me but a good decision.

Easy and precise click in
Easy to get off
Longer axle selectable

Comfortable pedals, but definitely not cheap

- Gary, 16 February, 2021

I'd only ever used Look pedals before switching to Shimano SPDs. The good news is that the changeover was seamless, no small pains or need to make minor adjustments. I just switched the cleats over and clipped in! I've done approx. 120km so far on a mixture if road & turbo, all is good. The main reason I changed to these pedals was to benefit from the slightly larger footprint of the pedal & the extra 4mm clearance. So far I'm very happy, however they are not cheap.

have to buy new ones every 2 years because there is a lot of play between the pedal and the footplates. The carbon/plastic just wears away due to sand etc. Still buy the same ones again because otherwise I have to buy new plates for other shoes too. Next bike but different pedals....

Good pedal

- Nils, 6 October, 2020

After the second pair of Look pedals have given up with me, (first bearing seized up, second pedal body at the interface with Cleat worn out each used just under a year) there was now the Shimano R8000 about the durability I can not say much, but it feels much better processed. Furthermore, the interface pedal cleat is wider and larger which translates into a noticeably more stable connection to wheel. Another plus is that I get a few mm more clearance at the position of the cleats on the shoe then because the slotted holes are slightly larger. Negative: Quite higher price
