The Look pedals are great. Looks have several big advantages. Ability to adjust the float on the
fly. Speed play zeros have the ability to adjust float, but you need a philips screwdriver. Not a
real big concern, but the screw is in vulnerable place. I am not sure what Richard Bryan was
thinking when he designed the zeros. The SPD-r's have tension release adjustment only. SPD-rs use
cleats for float adjustment. The Look CX series are quite advanced and weight is reduced to 149
grams per pair.
