These pedals work exactly as you would expect from Shimano Dura Ace. I have used the ultegra level pedals for nearly 10 years and never had a complaint. I wanted to dress my new bike up with a new set of pedals, and the look of these are perfect! The large, low profile platform does a great job distributing the pressure on your shoe. They feel very secure on the cleat when snapping in and during the release. The package includes a yellow set of cleats (floating, vs the red fixed style). I find these cleats to work very well and are relatively inexpensive to replace when they get worn. They are extremely light and on par with most other carbon pedals on the market. Installation is very easy and simply requires an 8mm hex tool instead of a spanner wrench. They are very expensive, but if you appreciate high quality and performance, you can't get much better than the new 7900 series pedals.

The pedals come with one set of cleats. Extremely stable platform, I like the tight fit when engaged. Very light. Nothing negative at all, very easy to install and adjust. The release tension goes from stiff to very stiff, so perhaps not for the lighest riders or those with exit concerns. Entry is single sided but very easy since the pedals hang appropriately. Combined weight of carbon pedals plus cleats is basically as light or lighter compared to anything from any other manufacturer. Overall highly recommended.

Before the Dura Ace PD-7900, I had been using the PD-7800 pedals, which has an alloy core. The newer PD-7900 pedals have a carbon composite core instead, and thus shaving the weight by 30 gms; the PD-7800 pedals weigh 281 gms, whereas the PD-7900 pedals weigh 251 gms. The pedal platform is basically the same on both pedals. I've always been a huge fan of Shimano's SPD-SL pedal technology and wide pedal base, allowing ease of on-off pedal action and power transfer. A wider base, I feel, provides more comfort because of less pressure on the feet.

It's been a long time since I used another set of pedals other than Shimano DA, so I can't give a fair comparison with another brand. However, when I first tried the PD-7800 I was impressed with the performance and comfort of the pedals and convinced that these pedals are suited for me; thus far I'm just as satified with the PD-7900 pedals.

One last note: I price-shopped before making my purchasing on Amazon.com. At the time of purchase, it offered by-far the lowest price compared to other internet sellers, which were mostly selling for over $300. For a set of high-quality Shimano Dura Ace pedals for under $250 is a steal.

This set of shimano pedals is great. I've used them for over 1500 miles already at this point. Used my old 7401's(Look style cleat) for over 20+years and finally decided to get some new ones. Much lighter, easier to clip into as well as out of, also much easier to walk safely with the new style cleat. These pedals kind of disappear which is what an expensive set of pedals should do. You should not have to even think about the pedals and they do this for you very well. The retention adjustment is wide enough to make the beginner to the pro happy. The replaceable stainless contact plate is a fantastic idea. The reason my old 7401's bit the dust was wear to the aluminum pedal body that began to cause squeaking. They would still have been perfectly functional if they had a replaceable contact surface. Bearing quality is the equal of the original pedal, that is to say very good. The older bearings feel better than the new but have 20 years of break in compared to the new and I'm sure the new ones will achieve that level of decreased friction with some time, they are already much improved with a few miles on them. Get some, what are you waiting for? I should have done it years ago.

I replaced my Ultegra SL pedals with these recently to reduce weight. What I've found is that the wider platform is really noticeable when riding. It is more comfortable with less pressure on individual parts of the foot. I didn't buy the Dura-Ace 9000 model because I couldn't determine whether there was much difference in the pedal.

Review of Bike Bicycle Cycle Crank Puller Bike Tool

Customer Ratings:

Crank puller was the right price and did the job. If you are not going to be pulling the cranks off on a regular basis, this is your tool. My crank was never pulled for 20+ years and this tool was able to help pull the crank.

The spanner wrench that came with it is almost useless. It can serve as a way to bring the puller thread in, but it won't pull the crank once you've hit it, and its a bad idea to try to, you will just hurt your hand and bend the spanner. It will require a large adjustable wrench.

However they are cheap and this I expected. Even with those I would have still given this about 4 stars if not for one caveat the metal is not very tough at all, and the bolt begins to bend inside the socket and it starts driving in crooked. I've removed numerous cranks with Park Tools CCP series and never had one of them fail me this way. Just get a park tool one, or, any other one really.

The crank socket on this Puller is 14mm. It's very durable and heavy.

Only con is the bar it comes with. It's pretty thin and small, so it's painful to use, IF you can even use it. However, the description didn't state that it even came with it, so I didn't expect it to come.

Very good buy in my opinion.
