Following 16 years of successfully using other makes of clipless pedal I thought I’d give Shimano the benfit of the doubt and got some new XTR spds for xmas (my previous clipless pedals are nearly worn out now). However, after 5 rides using my new M980 XTR clipless pedals and having spent considerable time setting up the cleat position my right knee has stopped functioning and I’m hobling round like a drunk peg-leg sailor… needless to say they’ll be going on the classifieds v soon… they’ve properly fubbered my right knee…
As such I’m in the market to replace my XTR’s and following a bit of research have got it honed down to 2 choices:
1) LOOK Quartz pedals (as in last week’s STW Friday Goods)
2) Time ATAC XS pedals
Both look a good bet, have got 15+ degrees of float which seems like my knees will probably need, the LOOK ones in particular are considerably lighter weight than my XTR’s. Keen to hear about bearing life, function etc.
Any reviews / thoughts / further recommendations?
Cheers.
