I just switched over to Look Keos from Deltas, should I lower my saddle a bit? The Keos seem thinner overall (pedal and cleat combined) than the Deltas/PP396 combo, so I was thinking maybe drop 5mm?
Also if I drop the saddle 5mm should I then adjust the fore-aft position of the saddle any to compensate for the saddle moving forward slightly when I lower it?
Any help would be appreciated.



Sorry, should have posted this in the "Components, Wrenching" forum.

Try measuring the stack height change. The easy way is to leave one old pedal and cleat on. Measure from the same position on the edge of the sole to the top of the pedal axle, then account for the difference in the axle diameter if they are not the same. Presto! Instead of guessing, you'll know.

If the difference is only a few mm, then don't bother moving the saddle for-aft.

it says right in the booklet that comes with the KEO pedals.."if you are switching from the Delta style pedals lower your saddle 6mm. The delta's have a stack height of 21.6mm, the Keo' s have a stack height of 15.7mm"

I know, I know.God forbid we take 10 minutes to READ something before installation. I'm usually guilty of this all the time :)

Ok, I could slap myself for missing that one. Thank you capt_phun.
Should I move my saddle back any after dropping the 6 mm? (I actually checked the manual this time but saw no reference):)

For every 1 cm you lower it is a 3mm relationship to move it backwards. If you want to be anal, yes you would move it back about 1.8mm. So is it worth messing with your saddle adjustments for 1.8mm? that is up to you.

No, not worth it for 1.8mm, but thanks for the 1cm lowered = 3mm back equation, good to know for future reference.
