Wolf Tooth Components DEL Gravel Pedal

This is a race oriented SPD pedal where you can only clip in on one side with a smoothing underside. It definitely takes some getting used to from the standpoint of not being able to clip in on either side. After a while you learn where in the pedal stroke to unclip and re-clip in as to not have the pedal presented to your foot upside down. It is very lightweight and dramatically more aero than standard SPD pedals. It's a great product but could be made even greater if somehow its weight distribution were such that it always presents the clip side on top. The bearings on it are fairly stiff and I'm not sure if you're losing any watts due to that but I have not found this to be a problem. I am wondering though if they were not so stiff if the pedals would freely rotate into the proper clip in position.

I'm ride 90% road and a little gravel, using the new Shimano Rx9 gravel shoes. I love the support and the design. Not easy to get into, tried the cleats it came with and the new Shimano ones. Maybe it's the pontoons? After a few weeks they are fine, but the engagement doesn't have a definite click. I've managed to destroy the anodizing: I've never had this happen before.

Bought these a few weeks back and have several rides so far. I really like the platform as it feels solid and perhaps even a bit better than my Look x-tracks on my other gravel bike. The pedals seem durable and I like that they are able to be rebuilt (time and use demonstrate if they are as durable as they seem). I can't decide if they are a good value or not. The weight is low, but they are only one sided which is something that I like, but feels like it should cost less.

Perfect blend of road pedal platform and stability and XC shoe convenience for gravel. Bonus points for the user-adjustable Q factor and light weight. Fit and finish is top notch, and I love that they're designed and machined in the US. Eager to try the ALT pedals on my XC bike next.

Pedals are super stiff spinning still after hundreds of miles. They don't spin at all so clipping in can be difficult in terrain where you clip in/out at times.

The platform is solid once clipped in, but they don't mesh well with my shoes so likely need a shim to work better. Something that is not required with Shimano XTR pedals.

The stack height is so low you'll need to drop your saddle, so swapping between say, dura ace and these, is a hassle.

I was looking for an SPD style pedal that I could use on my road bike and these fit the bill perfectly. One sided, light weight, and a stable platform. No rubbing on the bottom of my shoes. Nice machining and finish. No complaints here. jimg

Awesome pedals. Easy to get in/out. Nice platform too. Lighter than road pedals, if you're a weight weenie.
