Does anyone have an opinion on Campagnolo pedals versus Look? I might be just crazy but I kinda would like to keep all of my components from the same manufacturer. I am fairly new to road riding and I have heard that some people don't like the Campy pedals. This forum has been the greatest source of information for me. Thanks! (I currently have Look 236 pedals)

I've used both Look and Campy clipless pedals. Both are nice. I find that the Campy are easier to get into and out of. The getting into part is based upon the top of the pedal facing up. The Campy pedals do have more of a tendency to rotate freely making it a bit more difficult to get the pedal orientation correct prior to clipping in. Once the front of the cleat is in place, clippimg in is a cinch.

Look are fine pedals. On the other hand, campy pro fit are reasonably priced for titanium technology, extremely easy to get into and out of, are adjustable and are compatiable with campy ergo computer for data and come with both types of application, outside crank attachment and inside the pedal, which is what I am using. I've been using them for 2 months now and love them... to much. :eek:

Another good thing about Campagnolo pedals is that the clip-in part is all metal so it keeps good performance for alot longer than Look. Also, it is lighter than Look.

I have campy pedals I love them, they work great and the cleats last a long time.

The low end ones start off at around $50.. and the record go up to $190 give or take... The Chorus pedals almost exactly the same as the record except they dont' have the polished finish are around $120-$150...
