The very notion of clipping into bicycle pedals may seem crazy to those who haven’t tried it. While it can be easily – and quickly – mastered, trying it isn’t always for the faint of heart. But Look Cycle, which was one of the companies to pioneer clipless pedals, has introduced the Keo Flex.
These entry level clipless pedals are aimed specifically at beginners and casual cyclists. These use a one-piece composite body and retention level, which helps keep them light because beginners shouldn’t have to endure heavier pedals after all. Unlike higher-end models these feature no retention force adjustment however.
The pedals are instead preset at 8Nm, and the float adjustment is determined by the cleats and range from zero degrees to 4.5 and 9 degrees. At $70 these should be a good week to get a feel for the clipless thing.
