Re: Pulled the trigger on the Elite Wheel DRIVE wheelset I received my Elitewheels DRIVE 45D on Thursday and have them gone through 100km on Saturday, 23rd July.
First was the wheelset unboxing in my YouTube video titled "EliteWheels DRIVE 45D Wheelset - First Impressions" / youtu.be/lglcGHaKpCo

I simply loved the handling characteristics especially on the straightline. How I think about them?
So I made a First Ride clip and let you know about it in another YouTube video titled "EliteWheels DRIVE 45D - My First Ride". / youtu.be/rObtK6VQ3A4

RRS Kit SPD-SL Carbon Pedals Just received my new SPD-SL compatible pedals from Aliexpress seller. The pedal body is based around a 3K carbon weave construction with a steel spindle axle for a respectable weight of 216 grams per pair. The spindles felt a bit tight when I tried to spin the pedal body around them. Maybe they will loosen up with gradual use which remains to be seen. Overall, very light compared to a stock Shimano SPD-SL pedal which range between 260ish grams for an Ultegra pedal to over 300 grams for a PD-550 model.

Comparing to a Dura-Ace pedal which will cost us around US$280, I paid USD80 for these clones which is really a steal. Furthermore, the Dura-Ace PD9100 pedalset weigh in at 234 grams which is 18 grams heavier than this pair of carbon pedals.

So far, they have not gone on the bike but I will be mounting them today for my coming weekend rides so will know if they are durable and secure like the real deal.

Re: RRS Kit SPD-SL Carbon Pedals Hi team,

I just had my first ride on them today. Here is the non-narrative review video post on my blogsite.

Re: RRS Kit SPD-SL Carbon Pedals Unfortunately I did not do a teardown of the pedal spindle to have a look inside. However, I do have a similar alloy version of the pedal and took out the spindle to inspect closer.
FYI the spindle length is 85mm.

I believe that given both pedal types uses an idenitical design, the spindles should be the same type.

Did you dismantle them?
To see if they have the same axle as Shimano.
And then maybe find titanium axle for an upgrade  8)

Following the  dismantle of the alloy version of the SPD-SL pedal, I have been scouring the depths of Aliexpress but nothing compatible has shown up so far.
Keep the fingers crossed and hope I can find the elusive Titanium spindle and will share the information.

Cheerio.
