What makes these pedals special?
While Cinelli claim to have invented the clipless pedal, Look rightfully are seen as the key catalysts to making clipless technology successful. The French company produced the first commercially successful clipless pedal. As a ski binding manufacturer, Look began designing what it termed pédales automatiques – a style of spring loaded pedal from which you could release your foot with a sideways twisting motion. This feature meant a rider could safely detach from the bicycle ultimately accepted by professional riders and teams. This in turn kick started the pedal revolution, as other manufacturers followed suit. This design included the three-hole cleat mounting standard, which remains the standard design for racing pedals today. A testament to Look’s design.
The Carbo Pro pedal is a lighter weight upgrade from their originals (which I still have!) While these are not at the weight caliper as the Keo pedals or Shimano’s platform clipless, they are still a great pedal and what makes them great is their reliable operation and incredible durability of the axle and bearings. These are bullet proof and can take a beating from powerful legs or heavier riders. Keep on keeping on!
