Look Keo Sprint Pedals - Opinions?
Im looking at Look Keo Sprint pedals and would like to know if anyone on the forum has used these pedals and what your thoughts are about them. I currently am riding with the SPD 540s that are real clunkers. They have the Keo Sprint for $140 shipped at BikeTiresDirect.com. Any recommendations for alternatives around this price range are welcome as well. thanks in advance!

probikekit.com has them for $78. I got a pair of the Classics a week or so ago for $45. It looks like the only difference is the extra tension

Anyway, is the Dominator 2-bolt only?

I have the Look KEO Sprint pedals and Sidi Zeta Carbon Mesh shoes. The pedals are great, much better than the M520 SPD betters that I had prior.
The KEO Sprints are three screw cleats. I don't know if if can get an adapter plate for a shoe that has only two holes.
Good luck.

I have the LOOK KEO Carbons and they have been great so far. My only complaint is that LOOK hasn't done anything to improve the walkability of the shoe off the bike. Shimano SPD-SL cleats are much better for walking around off the bike (briefly of course). I guess I could get cleat covers but that's just one more thing to carry around (or forget) when I go out on a ride.
Otherwise I love them.
