I haven't ridden Look so casn't comment on the CX6. However, I changed to the SPD-SL last year. They're very good, great float and good engage mech. I've used Ultegra and Dura-ace - very little difference between them, the dura-ace version seemed to have a smoother engagement-dis-engagement.graf zeppelin said:Have you ridden either system before (LOOK vs Shimano)? I've been riding LOOK for years and am currently using a CX6. I love it. I have, however, never ridden the Shimano system.
Downside to a LOOK system is cleat wear when/if you need to walk on them, as well as moderate difficulty doing so. Happens so rarely for me that its not an issue at all in my experience. Shimano supposedly makes this a bit easier/better. I have also heard that those who go from LOOK to Shimano at first feel the Shimano to be a bit looser floating-wise, but that it then becomes preferred. This here would be preference, so maybe see if you can test ride each at a LBS?
Good pedal systems either way.
Better yet, buy the Performancebike.com Forte Magnesium pedals that weigh 50g less than the Look CX-6ti! If you are a Performance member, they're like $90 or less.gooders said:I haven't ridden Look so casn't comment on the CX6. However, I changed to the SPD-SL last year.

have you thought about the new Look Keo, I hear they're very good and very light, not sure how much though.
