Onirii? LFZ? Shudder...Lexon?
What do people think are the best lightweight replacements for Dura Ace Pedals (if you can't afford Xpedos).
-
I use these on my road bike. Weight claim is accurate, they just work fine. Have about 5.000 km into them. Best part: got them for around 15 USD on sale - so if I eventually crash them, they are cheap to replace:

Oniiri and LFZ are solid, racing on those :-)

I am on LFZ, I think they are great. A bit stiff at the beginning because of all the factory grease, but that will eventually go away after a few hundred miles.

which one do you prefer between Onirii and LFZ?
How close are they to Ultegra/Dura Ace in term of stability and stack?

After previously destroying the nut that attaches the axle assembly to the pedal body of the Onirii PD-06Ti pedals (https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,3910.msg67126.html#msg67126), I ordered the pedals a second time (I returned the first set). This time I was able to open up the pedals using a deep 18mm socket, standing on the pedal body with one foot and stomping on the wrench with the other foot. Replaced the super-sticky grease (glue??) with marine grease (!), and they now spin great.
More importantly, I found that using original yellow Shimano SPD-SL cleats results in slight lateral rocking (think SPD pedals with multi-angle release cleats, or worn Speedplay pedal bodies). Using red Exustar E-RSL11 / Garmin Rally RS cleats eliminates the rocking (cleats: https://www.garmin.com/en-AU/p/780003/pn/010-13138-00 or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HP0MTOC or https://www.thebikesmiths.com/products/exustar-5519).

so there is play in the Onirii pedal when using an original SPD SL cleat? That would suck. I have the Onirris at home, havent used them yet

There was some rocking for me, yes. That's with the spring tension set to the lowest (easiest) level though. And I didn't try the included cleats.

Yeah, so I have to strongly advise anyone against these pedals. With new original SPD SL cleats they have a very substantial amount of lateral play in them. Abpout 5-7 mm at least I would say. The included cleats fit well without movement (Trace Velo used the included cleats that is why he didnt notice this). This basicly renders the pedal useless since they dont sell separate cleats for it. A shame; because I liked it otherwise.

.LFZ is closer to my DA. Q factor is closer to crank on oniiri but works to. No other issues feel is very similiar to DA

Or get the Exustar or Garmin cleats I linked to above. I use those with the Onirii pedals, and there's no rocking.

So any reasons not to pick up some LFZ's before just settling with DA9100?

Have you tried Onirii PD-06Ti pedals with Blue or Red shimano cleats? I believe that can eliminate all lateral play there.

No, I have only tried the yellow Shimano cleats. The blue and the red have too little float for me, so I don't have any to try.

There is a chance the float on ONIRII pedals being just right with blue or red Shimano cleats. I'll give it a try.

Thoughts?

Having had the ONIRII pedals for half a year or so, I switched back to a pair of (cheap) shimano pedals and I gotta say, the shimano ones just feel better. I had the same problems with the ONIRII as others and I honestly can't recommend them. I tried them with the included cleats (not great), but not garmin cleats. I might try the LFZ ones, but I'm not in a rush until I solve a fit issue that keeps me from being able to do rides longer than an hour.

Anybody have any semi-long term experience with the LFZ spd sl pedals (carbon and Ti)?

Looking for a solid locked in feel (no play).
Thanks

I use them for about 10 months now. Still using them with the proprietary cleats they arrived with. Compared to my old PD-R550 they feel a bit more "free" as it seems to me they have a bit more float. But I am no expert, that’s just how it feels to me. But other than that, I like them a lot. You are pretty locked in, they do not move. I am no sprinter, but when I try some out of the saddle sprints, they feel rock solid.

I have the Onirii pedals. They are light, and felt great when I first got them. Yes, they had to have been packed with grease because they did not self level as quickly as I would like. Then one side (right side) started to really open up, and the other didn't. So I tried taking the nut off the right one, and kinda stripped it using a regular box end wrench. What I figured out was that 1. I needed to use a 17 socket. AND 2. This is the most important thing, the right pedal is backwards threaded, just like the spindle, so it would have never come off going the way I was trying. I was able to take the entire spindle out of the pedal and am currently servicing it. When I first started riding them, I was over 200lbs, and never had an issue.
When I THOUGHT I had ruined them, I bought the other set, the raceworks: http://aliexpress.us/item/3256806196965435.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.59.531a1802laRgsz&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa. They are fine too, just a little heavier but same play and action.
I always had ridden the Speedplay pedals, but thought I would give the SPD pedals a try. Six of one, half dozen of the other. They are all just pedals.
