[Closed] Anyone using Look Quartz pedals?

Just put some Look Quartz pedals on the road bike, and it seems I need to twist my foot much further than say Shimano. An upward twist action seems a bit better but they still seem a bit ropey/inconsistent compared to Shimano?

Anyone else used these?

I presume using them with road shoes (i.e no tread) shouldn't make much difference?

sounds like you need to recheck the shims on the shoe as once you've got them perfectly set up they are fab. the first generation ones, were a bit iffy, then they got them sorted.

use them on 3 bikes, lighter than an eggbeater, and better platform and the don't clag with mud like a shimano

I use them on all my bikes. Really like them. The shims take a while to set up to stop your feet popping out but once done I've found them very reliable

I am running them on road shoes (Specialized BG Sport), so didn't think I'd need to use any shims, since the cleat is completely proud of the sole?

Or does a bit of recess actually improve release somehow?
