I've got some new Look pedals that I want to fit onto my Dura-ace cranks, but the diameter of the hole on the cranks is quite a bit larger than the bolt diameter on the pedals. I there some sort of adaptor available to bridge the gap as it were? I imagine it would look something like a large washer with threads on the inside and outside. Thanks.

This is weird as there is no I reason I can think of where a new Look pedal wouldn't fit on to a Dura Ace crank - even if the crank was very old. I could be wrong though (I am quite often, just ask my wife) but I would ask this question in the Mechanics forum also to expand your chances of getting a solid answer.

If you have an early 80s set of Dura Ace AX Dyna Drive cranks, you have one option I know of (see link). These will allow you to run standard 9/16 pedals.

If you're crankset isn't the old Dyna Drive, I have no ideas...

Also, what model Look pedals? I'm considering CX6 to go on my Dura Ace cranks. Since they are listed as 9/16 I assumed they'd work.

Pretty much everything made now-a-days and for the past 15+ is 9/16 except for bottom of the barrel BMX/Wallmart stuff that has single piece cranks. You should be fine.

That's exactly what I was thinking of - thanks for the information.
