It could cost me the series. Use if you are a weenie, but not for racing. I had used another pair for a year with no problems, this pair were practically brand new. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Light Weight
Consistent Entry/Release
SPD Compatible Cleats | | Weaknesses: |
Ti Axle Strength | | Similar Products Used: |
Shimano 737s
Shimano 747s | | Bike Setup: |
Pro Flex 957 w/LP Braid Bar Ends, Avid Arch Rival 50 Brakes, Race Face XY Seatpost, WTB SST Saddle | | Bottom Line: | After over two years of hard riding with a 225 lb. rider one of my Ti axles snapped. However, K2 informed me they have a revised design Ti axle which is supposed to be beefier. They overnighted a new pair under warranty to my LBS without hesitation. Great pedal; Great Customer Service. | Overall Rating: |

LIght

white paint looks like crap
after a while | | Similar Products Used: |
lots of SPD types | | Bike Setup: |
XC race bikes | | Bottom Line: | I normally don't post, but I figured I'd offset the previous review. I've had the pedals for 2 seasons and mine have held up fine. Including 12 races this year. At 288g, pretty much the lightest SPD out there. Ti spindles always have a risk, however. | | Overall Rating: |

axle integrity | | Bike Setup: |
Pro-Flex 957 | | Bottom Line: | Frustratingly, I was recently in a race, and with only half a lap (of 4) to go, the left pedal's axle snapped clean off. I was very fortunate not to have been injured! I am light (142 #s) and do not have an abundance of power like some of you bigger dudes. Prior to my experience I had met a guy who had the same thing happen to him twice. Pedal axles are something that should simply never fail in this type of situation. | | Overall Rating: |
