The Look/Polar pedals had to have the axle aligned very precisely- this requires using a combination of washers of varying thickness to adjust how far the pedal axle screwed into the crank.
In comparison the Garmin pedals look a lot easier- again there is a requirement for washers to be used, but from what I can gather from reading the various reviews there seems to be no specific alignment required.
So- put them on, check you've torqued them to 25Nm and that the washers are ok, or fit, check, remove, add washer, fit, check etc, then clip the transmitter pod on and you're away.
I was watching (and bidding on) a pair of Look/Polars just as the Powertap price-drop was announced, someone paid almost £700 for those pedals which I find quite remarkable.
Howard- I've had a certain amount of practice it is true, but I can remove and refit Hollowgrams pretty fast now.
That said, Rotor are amazingly quick, and that's swapping between BB standards as you go.
Still not as easy as swapping a wheel between frames- but I've swapped my SRM between my road bike and my CX bike, which would have been tricky with a wheel.
