I have recently got back into cycling after several years off the saddle. I bought a fairly decent bike but the one thing that is driving me mad are the pedals. I picked up a set of Look PP357! Initially I found them very loose so I bought a set of red cleats and yeah it make a difference. However, when you really wanna give the bike some welly there´s just not enough ridigity in the pedals.
I´m thinking about buying a pair of TIME IMPACT Ti PEDAL, Campy Record Pro-Fit or Dura-Ace SPD-R.
The last pair of pedals I had before getting back on the saddle were Time and I thought they were fantastic. The Ti are more expensive than the Pro-fits and the SPD-Rs.
I have recently bought the Shimano SPD-SL PD-R600 pedals. They are great. The have a larger platform than the speedplays and they are easy to clip in and out of. Have had great success with them. Hope it helps.

I don't have any first-hand experience with the Shimano pedal, but I do know the Time Impact Ti and the Campy Record Pro-Fit are both fine, well engineered pieces that give top level performance. The Record Pro-Fit is what I use presently. It weighs about the same as the Time, performs comparably, and costs less.
Go back to time......the time impact pedals are great.....and you will find you dont have to keep replacing the plastic cleat with the new model....they are much more user friendly for walking on....and the lower end model is just as good and affordable....I have not pulled out of them yet....having done so many times with look models....
