Chorus Pro-Fit. Don't really care for them to be honest.

They're well made, everything is replaceable, cleats don't break easily (Read: Time RXS).

I don't like them much because they're harder to get into than the RXS or 6600's I've run previously. No one carries cleats locally (SPD-SL cleats are $20 at any and I mean any LBS). They just feel physically too small for my taste.

Had Time RSX pedals on all 3 of my bikes, btu switched them out to Speedplay X2's. The team that I joined got a sponsorship from Speedplay so I had no choice...

I'm happy with the move. The Time pedals were nice, but I was running into an issue with my left ankle. I needed to get my foot closer to the crank and couldn't because the cleats have no side to side adjustment. The only way to adjust them is to flip the cleats from shoe to shoe and that had already been done. The Speedplays have allowed me to get the left foot a lot closer to the crank and the ankle has improved. I like the adapter plate of the Speedplay's because it allows you to adjust fore and aft separate from side to side. I always found adjusting my wife's Looks a pain because it was so hard to maintain the fore & aft position when adjust the side to side position or vise versa. The Speedplay's free float is also a nice change. The only negative I have is that they are a bit harder to get into, but I'm a light weight at 135lbs...

Thanks for the input so far everybody. I find it interesting that there is quite a few who have SPD-SLs as I do, but I guess around where I live in I only see a few people with the same cleats, whereas most of the people I ride/see use Looks/Speedplays. To me Speedplays do not look like there is much contact area for you to press down on with your foot, is that true? Looks I did not discover until after I had gone with SPD-SLs, and by then it was too late to change . I still like my SPD-SLs though

I agree... but... the darn cleats are so expensive hehehehe

I like the ability to walk in the shoes, and that the shoe guides you to the cleat. Pretty easy to get into and out of.

They tend to creak a bit unless the cage is lubed. They are near impossible to ride in unless you are actually clipped in, otherwise they will roll under your foot. This can be a nuisance from a dead stop if you miss clipping in right away.

I use Look Keo pedals and don't have any complaints though I'm curious to try Speedplays but haven't been motivated to spend the money on them since I have pedals that work fine and don't need to be replaced.

i have older Look Pedals and older Campy Pedals that use the same "Delta" cleat

Pros - I came off SPD so bigger contact area, less float, built like tanks

Cons - built like tanks

I ride Look Delta pedals on my old bikes and Keo on my primary race bike. I like the weight savings with the Keo Carbons (CroMo spindles, not Ti), but I hate the new Keo cleats. They put some rubber stuff on the cleats to make walking around safer, but they give resistance when trying to slide the cleat into the right spot when clipping in. On occasion I have lost a few precious seconds because of that. My old Delta cleats didn't have this problem.

I have had only a handful of surprise unclippings and none catastrophic with the Look pedals. On the other hand I only had one surprise when riding with cleated shoes, toeclips, and straps and that was on a ride on unfamiliar roads running into a very steep pitch coming around a corner. The shoe stayed on the pedal, but my foot was yanked out of the shoe!

Look Ironman HM Carbon (Chromo spindles).

Pros-- I got the for about half on ebay so that's why I have them in the first place.
Light --but I'm heavy so that gets cancelled out.

cons -- i wonder if they're gonna grind away if i have a bad crash. they are sorta scraped up on the little wings already from a spill and an incident with a curb at a stoplight.

I am also interested in trying speedplays and SPD-SL. Two friends have the Shimanos and a few others have speedplay. They all like what they have, so it doesn't help me at all.

Look Keo Sprint:

Pro:
Match the bike.
Hard to come out of.
Easy to get into.
Rarely scrape them in the corner.
Nice friction in the float.
Fairly large surface area.

Con:
Cleats wear out faster than I'd like.
I HAVE scraped them in the corners.
Grips fall off the cleats way too easy... if they'd mold them into the plastic instead of glue them onto the outside, all would be good.

curious about the reason to have three cleat/pedal systems also requiring three pair of shoes, none of which can be used on other bike in a pinch? I've always thought that I would have same pedal system on mulitple road bikes (if/when) so that all bikes and shoes could be used together.

Same pedal, non-carbon. Same pros and cons.
