Perfect blend of road pedal platform and stability and XC shoe convenience for gravel. Bonus points for the user-adjustable Q factor and light weight. Fit and finish is top notch, and I love that they're designed and machined in the US. Eager to try the ALT pedals on my XC bike next.
Pedals are super stiff spinning still after hundreds of miles. They don't spin at all so clipping in can be difficult in terrain where you clip in/out at times.
The platform is solid once clipped in, but they don't mesh well with my shoes so likely need a shim to work better. Something that is not required with Shimano XTR pedals.
The stack height is so low you'll need to drop your saddle, so swapping between say, dura ace and these, is a hassle.
Bought these a few weeks back and have several rides so far. I really like the platform as it feels solid and perhaps even a bit better than my Look x-tracks on my other gravel bike. The pedals seem durable and I like that they are able to be rebuilt (time and use demonstrate if they are as durable as they seem). I can't decide if they are a good value or not. The weight is low, but they are only one sided which is something that I like, but feels like it should cost less.
I was looking for an SPD style pedal that I could use on my road bike and these fit the bill perfectly. One sided, light weight, and a stable platform. No rubbing on the bottom of my shoes. Nice machining and finish. No complaints here. jimg
Awesome pedals. Easy to get in/out. Nice platform too. Lighter than road pedals, if you're a weight weenie.
