Royal Nuevo vs. Custom Nuevo
Honestly, the only difference I can figure out is that one is black and 8 grams heavier. Am I missing something?

custom nuevo = sealed bearing
royal nuevo= loose ball bearing
why not go w/ rx-1? they're lighter, and as smooth and sealed.

How about get neither because you're wasting money unless you use slotted track cleats.
Seriously, no one cares about how blingy your pedals are.

If you have a track frame = high BB, I'd vote for some older mtn pedals. Great stuff, if a tad wider sometimes.
