I’m planning on dumping my old SPD pedals and moving to a bigger platform – either Look or Shimano SL. I have seen a lot of traffic about squeaking cleats with the PP396 from Look. They are coming out with new pedals this year. The A3 is a nominal replacement for the PP357 and the A5 is a nominal replacement for PP396 (albeit both new ones at a higher price point then their respective predecessors). Does anybody have actual experience with either new pedal? My wife just got a pair of the Shimano SL Dura Ace pedals and they are very nice. Thanks in advance for any insight.

My look pedals never squeeked until I started to do IM length training rides. I also never had a need for body glide until then. The same water soluable lubricant works for both - nearly any brand.
I use look on both tri and road bikes. SPD’s on the off road bikes.
A bit too early for an informed opinion on either I’m afraid. In two months we’ll know more.
