A buddy of mine has the Time impacts, according to him they're nice once you clip in, but trying to get in is another matter.

I picked up a pair of Dura Ace pedals today, will go for a first ride on them tomorrow. So far they look really nice.

I'll post my impressions of the pedals tomorrow.

Yeah i got the spd-sl pedals. Their nice. The cleat broke about 6-7 weeks ago. Shimano US has no email, I emailed Shimano OZ and they took 4 weeks to reply to my email and in it they said they'd transfer me over to Shimano NZ (cause im in NZ right now) no word from them in the last 3-4 weeks at all. Customer Service Sucks, you cant buy these cleats anywhere that i know of. It takes a bit to clip into them at first, you'll get used to it. Their light, theyre strong, they work (other than the damn cleat issue). I'd recommend them.

Vintage Cervelo: A Resource

I have ridden Look pedals since the mid 80's and still have my originals on my CT bike. I sprung for the new Dura Aces just before Christmas. I love them.
FYI- to the guy that said he broke his, I have not had a problems but my LBS told me this week that my cleats had been redisigned and I would be getting new ones. They apparently have been beefed up. Don't know time frame.

According to shimano the change to the cleat was only to the rubber 'walking' pads and that there was not fuctional defect on the cleat.

 

I'm working on an article (one of many) about the Dura-Ace Sl SPD pedal and the Time Impact. I don't have much usuable experience right now. We have somd a lot of them though. Positive customer feedback on both, but its too early for me to have any real opinion....
