The last set of Look pedals I owned were the reason I broke my collarbone. Yeah, the quality went WAY down for awhile and I bought a bunch of DuraAce look-type pedals to use. Now they're back to being fairly good. The cleats had become absolute crap and I couldn't use Look cleats anymore because they rattled in the pedals. The latest cleats are back to working well. That wasn't the issue I experienced. My cleats fit fine, but the spring tension in the pedals wasn't sufficient for standing starts. I pulled out once while doing starts on my road bike and a second time a couple of months later on a track bike. The fixed gear kept turning the cranks and launched me over the bars. I can hardly believe that you could pull out of those pedals with new cleats and a good fit. I haven't pulled out of them EVER except when I wasn't clipped in properly. I do know that some of the cleats and pedals would allow you to sort of clip in off to one side and then you could pull out. But it felt funny and would turn your foot a little so that you would unclip and reclip in so that it felt right. Tom: I don't reckon that you're a national-level trackie, either.
