Look Keo Blade Manual página 20

Important:
- Some users may experience higher breakage frequencies than others, especially
those over 85kg with an explosive or aggressive riding style.
- Large feet and supination or pronation of the foot have been associated with a break in
the pedal. The supination or pronation of the foot may in some cases be corrected with
the soles - in this case, consult a health professional.
- Users who have already experienced broken pedals, frames, or other components
are more likely than others to break them again. These people are strongly encouraged
to purchase more robust equipment to support their load and/or change their riding
style. They are advised to have their equipment inspected and maintained frequently
by professionals.

SERVICE LIFE - WEAR - INSPECTION REQUIRED
LOOK Keo Blade pedals are pre-greased during production. The creation of a grease film on
the various rolling elements is necessary in order to obtain an optimal fluidity of the bearings
to improve the performance and the quality of the pedals. Depending on the pre-greasing,
the rotation of the axle could have a slight resistance. This resistance will decrease after the
first kilometres travelled with the pedals. The climatic conditions, and the place of storage
of the bicycle, may impact the fluidity of the grease. At low temperatures the grease is less
fluid and at higher temperatures the grease is more fluid.
All of our axles are validated after succesfully completing testing at a level much higher than
the baseline required by (ISO4210-2).
The service life of LOOK components depends on many factors, such as the cyclist's
morphology and the conditions of use. Impacts, falls, improper use or abrupt use in general
can compromise the structural integrity of the components and significantly reduce their
service life.
