Anyone got any?

I've had Keo Carbon Ti pedals in tha past which were excellent and am current using Keo Carbon Cro-mo's now.
Looking to upgrade and considered the Blade pedals.

I like the idea of the larger surface area yet still a lighter weight.
Did you go for the 12nm blade or the 16nm?

Cheers

    :lol: I was hoping to entice someone to comment about their blades.
    I`m also interested in getting a pair.

    Just looking at pics of the new Keo Blades, how secure is the carbon fibre leaf spring, it doesn't look very secure to me, looks like it could fall out at any moment.

    I have 2 sets of Look pedals. One pair of Keo Sprints on my TT bike and a pair of the now defunct Keo HM Carbon Ti pedals. 90g each. :)

    But I recommend the Keo Max as it will be my next set I think.

    Ive seen an article on the internet regarding the "Alberto Contador Look Keo 2 Max Carbon Pedals" it said that the pedals were modified with a Titanium Axle which was a one off.

    I`ve been reading bad things about the Keo 11 max`s seals on the bearings causing unwanted friction and drag etc.also the pedals don`t seem to be hanging correctly for ease of access when trying to clip in.Well this is what i`ve read and what is putting me of buying them.

    OK. Scrap that. I'm going for another set of Keo Sprints. Cheap and cheerful.

    The blade looks fragile but I'm sure it's inserted well.

    I was thinking of also going for Keo Carbon Ti's again like I had before.
    I aslo run the Sprints on my Allez.
    So my existing Keo carbon cro-mo's will go onto the 'Dale with the SL3 getting the new lighter pedals.
    I think being sub 65kgs the 12nm blade would be sufficient for my needs.
    Will seem a little weird to use though...... 8)

    Quite fancy chopping my Dura Ace's in for these. Any thoughts?

    Look & Alberto Contador introduces the new Kéo Blade Carbon a bit of over done look advertising? there is the time iclic pedals though, they were on back order at total cycling. im happy enough with my speedplay zero ti spindled pedals.

    Nice big platform. Didn't notice them at all on a 5hr+ ride yesterday (no foot pain). Nice firm snap when clipping in. I'm using the 12nm version. They come with 2 sets of (useless to me) grey cleats and a set of covers.

    Also they do hang at the correct angles, so fine for clipping in. There was a tight seal issue on earlier Max versions.
