  • I need to replace my pedals soon. Currently using Look S Track but they're knackered now and seemingly impossible to service.
    I was thinking of replacing them with a pair of Shimano ES600 SPD because I think they look alright and I like the idea of a larger contact platform (nearly all of my riding is on road). Has anyone used them? Anything else to consider that's not absolutely minging?

  • If you're interested in sticking with S-Tracks for a while, I have two pairs I'm not using any more. Still in good nick and one set has the cage platforms on. You can have them for postage or nothing if London-based.

  • I have a pair , not completely convinced by them .
    It took a while for the bearings to loosen so they rotate freely when you are unclipped, now they are they rotate to the clip down position so I have to rotate my unclipped pedal to the bottom then give it a bit of a tap by knocking the other foot against the freewheel ( if that makes sense).
    The clip is then vertical near the top of the first revolution and you can rotate it and clip in.
    First time I rode with them I had a clipping in success rate of less than 50% I’m up to over 90% now.
    They scratch/ mark really badly when you miss.
    They are light and comfortable.

  • CyclingTips did a pretty in-depth review recently and weren't particularly impressed.

  • Agree with the PD-ES600 hanging the wrong way up. If you want single-sided, get the PD-A520 instead, or PD-A600 if you can find them. I have all three, but actually use double sided XT most of the time now.

  • This is what they look like after a month or two
