Time X-presso 12 vs Look KéO BLADE 2 Premium Carbon Ti vs Dura Ace PD-9000

[csf]

It's time to replace old Dura ace pedals with new ones. Question now is to stay on Dura ace or try Time or Look? Weight of all three is almost the same, price also...

Does anybody ride on all three ones and have some feedback what the main difference ?

Why stray from a good thing

If you want of of those 3, I would opt Shimano.

Persevered with Look Keo Blades for over 2 years, 3 pairs, gave up, went to DA 9000, have never looked back. Sometimes that extra 50g is worth it.

Yes no problem with Dura Ace in three years only weight is the factor here... does anybody have "real weight" for 9000, claimed weight is 248g without cleats?

Look at the pro-peleton. A lot of Dura Ace pedals there ....
Personally I'm very happy with Speedplay Zero pedals for 10+ years.

Over 4 years on my Xpresso 12's. I did have to replace the bushing once so far and will probably be ready to do again this winter. Other than that over 20,000 miles of issue free pedaling.

Did you replace the bushing with bearings, it works a treat?

First you need to understand the differences. Time has a different kind of float to begin with. Your foot is pushed to the middle position all the time.

Time and Look are French, although they deal in pedals for ages, their pedals are flawed in design and quality control is low.
All pedals have their pro's and cons. It's up to you what you are looking for.
When you want robust nononsens pedals that work for a long time without probs, buy the DA.

Of the three, I would stick with DA.
Virtually maintenance-free, bullet-proof reliability is worth a few more grams.
In fact, I just bought myself a new pair. I am a former Speedplay and Look user. Never tried Time.

I really like the feel of my original Blades and have never had a problem with them. That said, I have seen a lot more QC issues with both Blade 1s and 2s than with pretty much any Shimano pedals. The chances that a set of Blades will develop a problem are still very low, but the chances of a DA pedal developing a problem are basically nil.

I've been happy with Time Xpresso pedals. I like the way they float. I still think my last generation Equipe Titan Mags were the best pedal ever. I have three sets and I can say that I don't notice any difference in function between a set of 4s, 6es, and 8s. For a 5-10 gram difference between the different models, I'd get a lower model. Ribble, for example, has 2s for $30 and 6es for $70 right now.

campagnolo record pedals are also very good shame campag have stopped production.

The new Dura Ace 9100 pedal design saved 24.5 grams over the 9000 series. I currently need to upgrade and I'm going to wait until these are available.

Fan of the Xpresso over here, just prefer the 'easy in click' of them compared to Shimano's and the extra wiggle (float) as required.
Just picked up some 10's from Canyon at £80 - bang on at 95 grams each.
