Wolf Tooth Components

I've stockpiled sets of the A600s and have run them for many years. I was excited for these pedals due to the weight and my past experiences with Wolf Tooth products. When I got them, I immediately installed them on my Crux and put them into daily service.

After two or three rides, I was already convinced I could get rid of my A600s. Great engagement, solid feel and good shoe support. I raced them at Mid South 100 and they were fantastic. Getting in / out is fine despite the 1 sided nature, as easy as the A600s.

Durability is still to be determined, but the fact Wolf Tooth offers every single replacement part and stands behind the right to repair I'm optimistic. After a thousand miles, they still feel like they did on the first ride so no immediate durability concerns at all.

As a grumpy old Luddite still riding cabled and round tubed bikes, I was surprised to feel a little frisson of excitement when the single-sided DEL gravel pedal was introduced. As a dedicated Speedplay rider for 10+ years (RIP Syzr pedals), the thought of reverting back to one-sided entry was daunting but not a deal-breaker. Sure, there was an adaptation period, but the brain is pliable and I adjusted after a couple of rides. Right out of the box I adjusted the Q-factor outward to 57mm (using WT's spacer kit) to accommodate shoe size and toe overlap. That, plus the larger platform surface made a world of difference in power output and comfort! Like other reviewers noted, the pedals don't always sit up in a "ready" position. Mildly annoying at times, but not enough so as to detract from all the positives.

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.
