Which Pedals
My Look pre-Keo pedals with dial a float and tension adjustment have about 30,000 miles on them. They still work well but I have had axle failures in the past so am going to replace them. I am considering Shimano 7900 carbon and Look blades (all with steel axles). The Shimano's cost a lot more but if they would be better I would get them. I need 3 deg. float for long climbs. I rarely walk on the cleats. the Look cleats used to fail in a couple months until Look added Teflon. Now they are good for a year. I weigh 200 lb. On the current pedals I have to use high tension or they can release in a sprint which makes them stiff to get in or out. Any experiences you have had with either including cleat failure, coming out of the pedals under high loads, float quality (I use carbon shimano shoes), pedal failure, etc. would be appreciated.
