Curious to know if anyone out there is using Keywin pedals and what you think of them?
I’ve been using Keywins for 8 or 10 years and love them. Low stack height, HUGE platform, great ground clearance, optional lock-out of float, and available with different length spindles so that you can dial in your Q factor if need be. The plastic body is nice if you like to pedal through corners and touch down every once in a while. No springs to jam, either.
The only downside is availability of spare cleats - you have to find them and stock up. 
Ok, I was wondering the same thing… others out there that have tried the latest Keywin road pedals.
The platform does look crazy large, can you feel a positive engagement? How is the pedal/cleat interface? My old Look pedals move around under hard climbing on hills, and wondering if these are better. The track guys seem to use these from what I can tell. They should know what works for high loads I figure.
I love these pedals. The Keywin CRM pedal is a sixteen year old design and is still better than anything else out there. The previous comments are spot on. Huge platform, solid engagement, no slop, no cleat squeak and plenty of float tunability. The cleats last forever. I have used every major pedal system other than Campy Profits and Crank Bros, and these kill every one of them.
The cleats aren’t that hard to find. The Canadian distributor is very easy to deal with and there are dealers popping up in the US.
do you know the name of the Canadian that is good to work with?
I will second what the others have said. I have been on them for years and have been happy. The float is not enormous and I do a little bit of surgery on the cleats to suit my toes out style, but I haven’t known anyone else that needed to do that (seems to depend on the particular shoe too). The engagement is not as positive as in some other systems, but there is never really any doubt when you are in. I also don’t find it any problem to get in w/o looking. The only real down side is, if you are not in NZ where they are common, be prepared for some abuse for riding pedals that look like they are straight out of 1992!
Since my initial post I have purchased a set of keywins and love them!!! I love how the cleat doesn’t move around while in the the pedal, the wide platform and the pedals are lighter than my Looks so I am happy. if you are on the fence about buying them, do it you will like them.
Are you in the USA? If so where is the best place (web site) to purchase them in the states?
Thanks
To piggyback on what you said. If you are in the market for a pair, check out http://www.ttbikefit.com/shop.html . Todd is an authorized dealer and can tackle any questions you have about them. He has been using and selling them for years and is excellent to deal with.
I love my Keywin CRM Ti. Decently light, great platform, great engagement and easy to use. They are the best pedal I have used to date and after using Speedplays wonder why anyone would ever use Speedplays when these are available.
I purchased mine through TTBIKEFIT.com - I actually had Todd do my bike fit and decided while doing the fit to give keywin’s a try and really like them. If you are on the market for a bike fit I also highly recommend him. He did a great job with my fit, which has had me running faster off the bike at every race this season.

You can increase the amount of angular adjustment of the cleat by doing away with the big Keywin bolt shim at the front of the cleat and substituting one of the smaller Keywin cleat shims used in the rear slots. Simply put in a flat washer first (M6 or M8 will work - can’t recall which one though) to stop the smaller shim falling through the slot hole in the cleat and mount the smaller shim on top of that. That will afford more adjustability and will also allow you to move the cleat further back on the shoe if you desire that.
