Anyone use PP337 pedals ?

I am after some new Look Pedals, don't want to pay too
much and have seen PP337s for £26.95 on Expedia. Right
price range, are they any good ?

I'm using PP237s and they're great, but heavy. At that
price, if PP337s are an improvment, I say go for it.

I you want them, I have some S/H Look PP236s (IIRC) which
are scratched=20 but still have perfectly smooth bearings. A
low price to a loving home.=20 If you're interested then
make me an offer by email.

I don't know if you payed much attention to m y pedals at the weekend, I had some old and very tatty Campag 'Look' Pedals. They were replaced years ago then retrieved from the spares box a few months ago as they were better than the Look Pedals that I was using. The right hand one makes an aweful squeek, new cleats haven't solved the problem, only made it switch from left to right !. The same shoes on my other bikes are not squeeky so I conclude its the pedals. Listening to it for 1000 miles in 2 weeks from LE to JOG will drive me mad ! I'll mail you Jon.

I've got 'em on the Speedmachine and Trice. A tad heavy but
seem to be bullet-proof.

24.99 in Decathlon if any use to you (just had the last pair
from Surrey Quays) 165g seems OK

They were £32.95 in Sheffield Decathlon last week. :-( 165g
is indeed OK, lighter than some of the (a little bit) more
expensive models which seem to be about 180g

The lighter models are lighter because they're made out of
plastic. I think it's worth investing in PP357, PP296 or
PP396 for the real deal.

Sale started 1.7.04. BTW the 7.1 series road bike is £179 on
the website but £259 in the shop/brochure; you can't buy on
line but you could try having them for trades something or
other if you wanted a dirt cheap hack. ;-)

PP337s are not plastic though are they. I wouldn't use the
plastic ones, they look like 'My First Look Pedals' . I have
actually ordered some PP357s which are lighter than what I
was using and lighter than the old PP256s on
#1RI which are lighter than the Campag ones that need
#replacing. Thus the
PP256s will replace the worn out ones, the PP357s will
replace the PP256s.

Thanks all for your comments

Very true. My pair are quite scuffed after only four
years' use.

I got a new pair of plastic ones last year as they came
cheap with the shoes, I did not realise that the pair I had
just junked (the same model,237 I think) were plastic, but
they had worn very badly where the cleat rubbed, I think
this is exacerbated by red ones. Shiny new black 337's
ready to roll, bet they won't be shiny tomorrow after
Battle and Back!

Avaast improvement; a nice positive click and they seem
more solid,

Indeed. I have a pair of plaggy ones on the Baron for that
reason, but if used daily they will wear out quite quickly.
