Carleton,

I know this has been asked time and time again but the combination of options I've selected never been asked

I'm going to try clipless for the first time and already decided into SPD to use casual shoes (DZR or MWS). The reason is that I wan't more efficient power transfer and less toe overlap. The ones I've selected are:

Look Quartz Cro-Mo - this is a very lightweight option at 278gr for the pair and the reviews at the link are all good. Some forums say that they unclip more easily than shimanos.

Shimano M520 and Shimano M540. I don't know the difference between these two besides price tbh.

Time Roc Atac and Time Atac Alium. A lot of fixed forums online say good things about Time Atacs. Don't know if it is hype or because they don't unclip as easily as other brands.

Any info/opinion on any of these pedals? Any other reccomendation? And what about DZR and MWS shoes? Also unclipping is a concern when riding fixed? Unclipping would be a very traumatizing experience :-/

Thanks!
