Ultegra Pedals VS Look Sprint
 
These will be my first pair of road pedals. Don't know which I should get. Any input?

I use Keo's and I love them.

I use Ultegra's and I love them.

Ultegra SLs and love them.

105's and I love them but I'd probably love the Looks had I chosen those...

I think it just comes down to aesthetics. I choose the keos because they are red and red is faster.

I ride Shimano PD-R540 pedals, cheaper alternative to Ultegra, same basic design. I find them to be great pedals. Bonus, they're black:

I've been riding Sprints for three years and like them just fine. If I had to replace them I'd get another set or maybe some Ultegras.

Six of one.... half dozen of the other.

105's are fine, too.

Just find a good deal on any of them and don't look back.

I've used 105s, Ultegras and Keos. They all worked fine. Check the price on replacement cleats; Keos might be higher.

I just made the same decision and went with Keo Sprints. (But looks like both are nice though.)

1) Looked like the Keo Sprints were lighter.
2) More choices on cleats (Fixed, 4 degree float, 9 degree float) (I think SPD-SL's have Fixed and 6 degree cleats.)

Again, both are nice...splitting hairs.

what size are your feet? I switched from Look to Shimano because I have rather wide feet. The Shimano pedals are wider and provide a better platform for me.

Size 42. Wide. Im ordering a pair of Northwave Aerlite SBS. I've asked LBS, and all they've said is speedplay. Its not my cup of tea, thats why I came to the board. So sounds like the Shimanos are a plus if I have wide feet.

I have the 105's (5610s), and they work great for me.

I have ridden both, and never really noticed a difference. I have been riding Look Keos and Time pedals the last 10 years.

This. I'm happy with my 105's.

Keo Sprints. Love them... bonus points for matching my bike.
