not in a position to buy, but do you mind me asking your reason for selling?

Lumen

Are cleats included, and if so are they in similar condition?

I'm curious about how you've managed to put so little usage on a set of 2007 pedals

Well spotted lads:D I did indeed buy these a few years ago, put them on my bike and after a few kilometres discovered the Q-factor was too narrow.
These only have 6 degrees of float, not enough for my liking:(
During this short spin my hips and knees started to ache, when I returned home I just removed them from my bike and put them back in their box.
The cleats have only been used once.

These days I use speedplay zero, with a 1/4 inch longer spindle:)
For me this is a near perfect setup:D

Any more questions?;)

Lumen

Thanks for that info SD.

I'm actually looking to widen my Q-factor, so it looks these wouldn't be suitable.

Very nice looking though, good luck with the sale...

Lumen

OK, I'm having major pedal/knee issues and need to experiment.

Offer €60 + postage.

Sorry I can't offer more, but I may end up having to re-sell them after a few hundred kms, at which point they will look properly used.

edit: I'm in Dublin, if that helps.

Well Lumen dude, if you have any biomechanical/knee issues...I would stay away from SPD-SL pedals altogether:eek:
These have a cleat that has only 6 degrees of float...

Yeah, well.... biomechanics is complicated. I'm currently running eggbeaters on the commuter bike which are really unstable. My knee was twingy this morning; I looked down and saw a horrific amount of toe-out which I've never had before. I thought I'd try a more stable platform and a bit of float restriction.

How do these compare to the newer shimano pedals as a matter of interest? I know the new Dura-ace are carbon and silly money, but are the new Ultegra SPD SL's on a par with these older DA ones?

- I have Ultegra currently, but have swopped em onto my winter bike, so a 2nd pair might be the right idea.

Well, you can get the current Dura-ace alloy pedals, in the cycle superstore for €130.
I can see that the newer pedals have a wider platform, offering more foot support. I recall reading some people, had some knee issues with the newer design pedals.

I have both dura-ace and ultegra groupsets on my bikes, the quality of the dura-ace stuff is far superior to ultegra, both in function and finish:D
