Evening all, I have a set of look keo blades, with the carbon blade, but somehow I have broken the blade on the non drive side! No crash damage, I think somehow I was trying to clip in on the blade side by accident put too much force and snapped it. Not all the way through.

I can buy blades to replace but need a look dealer to do it, and dont know how much they will charge. So seeing whether people would buy and how much you would pay! They are in good nick and less than a year old. I think they are the ti axle as well.

    Would you care to inform me of my error so I can resolve?

    Forum rules:
    16) Do not post "How much is it worth?" topics. If you want to know, look on other sites for a benchmark.

    I think Blades have a 2 year warranty, if that helps.

  • Metronome many thanks, smidsy clearly not titled how much is it worth, it asks if someone would buy them!

    Smidsy seeing as you know everything please point me in the direction of a site which happens to sell look keo blades with ti axles that have a non drive side blade broken and I will look for a benchmark.

    Send them back under warranty? Very simple? And no i wouldnt buy them broken that would be a silly idea. Because they are broken.

    So you did not ask how much then.

    Nothing in the rule that states it has to be titled such.

    You asked and I obliged.

    Now you are being rediculous.

    Well these few posts have been entertaining.

    Is it not fairly simple to swap over the blades on Keo's? I would assume it would only take a few allen keys or something, so it may be worth trying to replace them yourself.

    Only biscuits. :)
  • If I were able to fix it myself or knew someone who could do it cheap for me and I was buying the item at a reduced price yes I possibly would.
