LOOK (new pedals with pics)
I finally got tired of struggling with my stock Shimano SPDs and took advantange of the decent deal Nashbar has right now on LOOk A51s. I love them after 1 ride. They are much easier to clip into, and they do feel more stable.
They have adjustable float (0, 3, 6 or 9 degrees). I always wanted to try a little less float than my SPDs, and I like it so far. When I start to get tired my heels move around and I end up smacking my the crank. My only gripe with them so far is the way they are balanced. They fall past vertical when you un-clip and when you look down you can see the bottom of the pedal. It doesn't seem to be a real problem, but it "bothers" me.
Well, without further ado, a little soft porn (it is only an OCR after all
).
