    Just about to take delivery of my new TT bike, and just started looking at pedals.

    Which model are best bang for buck?

    I normally don't get too carried away with the marketing speil, still like to get most beneficial ones without blowing the budget.

    Boardman (Halfords own brand) do a pair compatible with the look keo system. Better value too.

    Blades are fine just a little harder to get out of than regular metal spring looks.
    Look way cooler too

    Exustar do cheap compatible one but don't know if they're any use. Planet X have a few non Look branded keo compatible pedals. I use either Keo Easy for the everyday bike or Keo 2 Max I think for the carbon one.

    Good prices going on Keo Classic 2's these days, due to the release of the Classic 3: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/look-keo-classic-2-road-pedals/rp-prod116968. They allow for tension adjustment which the Keo Easy do not.

    I've had a pair of these on my winter since last Autumn.
    They've performed flawlessly. I've done about 6,000kms on them.
    Bearings are perfect. I went for the black version.

    Yes quite right. Black is the correct colour.

    I would check the stack heights of the different pedals. Buy a LOOK pedal set. I had good luck with them over the years. Most use Shimano, here, now. However, I will stick with LOOK. I have a bunch of CLASSIC, but I also have one set that has a lower stack height(BLADE). It does make a difference. It might mandate you to lower the saddle versus using a CLASSIC. It could throw off your pedal stroke or make it better, too.

    For some reason I thought that the lower the saddle would be better. However, this would effect your fit from saddle to handlebar.

    I recommend experimenting. The price at Chain Reaction - a lot of Americans around here buy from them - is good. They are a better value than Shimano IMO.
