Look Keo Blade Carbon TI Axle Road Pedals Review

• . Drawing upon years of experience and with input from some of the most highly regarded champions of the sport, the revised Look Keo Blade Carbon pedals with titanium axles are super lightweight and designed to perform at the highest level to help you win Featuring all the benefits of a blade pedal, the Keo Blade Carbon TI pedals have an aerodynamically optimised shape with an increased platform size for superior performance and optimal efficiency. Supplied with 12Nm and 16Nm blades, they can be customised to suit your preferred feel Features: Body Material:¬†Carbon Spindle Material:¬†Titanium Intended Use:¬†Race Bearings:¬†1 roller bearing, 1 needle bearing Pedal Stack Height:¬†14 8mm Platform Width:¬†67mm Contact Surface Area:¬†700mm¬≤ Tension:¬†Supplied with 16Nm carbon blades installed and additional 12Nm carbon blades (20Nm carbon blades sold separately) Cleats:¬†Supplied with grey Look Keo Grip Cleats Float:¬†Black Cleat: 0¬∞; Grey Cleat: 4.5¬∞; Red Cleat: 9¬∞ (grey 4.5¬∞ cleats supplied) Weight:¬†Pedal: 95g; Pair with Cleats: 248gTechnologies: Carbon Body and Blade Technology:¬†Carbon lightens the weight of the pedal and provides an additional gain in stiffness for improved power transfer. Using a blade instead of a conventional metal spring has many advantages such as safer cleat entry & release, a more aerodynamic shape and a lighter weight Optimised Spindle Profile:¬†The Keo Blade pedal spindle was designed to obtain a very low stack height. It uses a needle bearing cartridge installed in a central position for better stress resistance while pedalling and two spaced out ball bearings, which distribute the load, providing increased rigidity between the body and the length of the spindle guaranteeing excellent rotational speed. Spindle play (related to internal bearing movement and part wear) is eliminated by a wave spring that constantly applies a pre-load that does not deteriorate over time. When pushing hard on the pedals, this system can completely eliminate the annoyances caused by any play (noise and sensation of friction). Look spindles are only approved after a rotational test of 2 million cycles at 100rpm with a load of 90kg on the centre of the pedal and an eccentric rotation, which creates stress on each revolution. This is equivalent to a sprint by Andr√© Greipel of 1700 watts at 100rpm for 333 hours! This test is much more demanding than the current standard, the ISO 4210 Ultra-Powerful Platform:¬†To meet the demands of the most demanding cyclists, especially competitors, the pedal/cleat system must allow efficient power transfer thanks to a broad and rigid platform. Because of this, the Keo Blade Carbon platform is fitted with a 67mm wide, stainless steel plate that optimises the cleat/pedal contact area regardless of pedalling angle. With 700 mm¬≤ of surface area, the Keo Blade Carbon offers an optimised contact platform for an efficiency and power transfer that is unmatched on today‚Äôs market Buy¬†Look Components¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
