    I'm thinking about ordering a set of Look Keo Spring pedals from this company since they are only $77 versus $150 here and they have free shipping.

    Wanted to see if anyone here has dealt with the before ordering them.

    Thanks...I'll be placing my order tonight. I would order them from CRC but they don't have them in stock and I'm hoping to get them by this weekend for my 7 sisters ride.

    Their prices are in pounds. How do you convert it? I didn't see a place to do that.

    I've ordered several times from Wiggle. Takes exactly seven days to get to your doorstep.

    Just placed my order. A pair of Keo Sprint pedals and 2 Continental Grand Prix 4000 tires for $155.69. Thought about doing their faster shipping, but didn't want to pay the 5 extra dollars, I guess I'm cheap. :lol:

    I have a quick question for someone that has bought here before. When filling out the address, it doesn't have a place box for City. I put my city in the second box under Address (see the picture below with red arrow next to it). Is that right or do you not put the city in at all and they just look it up with your zip code?

    I just checked my own account on Wiggle...no "city" either. They will find you by the zip code. No worries.

    Well when I placed my order last night, I put my city in that second box where the red arrow is. So hopefully that is fine.

    *Edit* Since my order hasn't been processed yet, I sent a message to them about my order saying that Coto de Caza in the address is my city because if they use the zip code, Trabuco Canyon usually.

    Make sure to check that the converted US rate is correct when you're comparing prices. (convert from British pounds to US dollars using google, XE.com, etc) Sometimes Wiggle can be $10-20 different than "actual" US rates.

    Yea that happened to my friend when he ordered from CRC. However, I ordered mine at night and the markets were got open yet, so I knew the exact price I was going to pay. Funny thing is, today everything was a dollar more expensive cause of the exchange rate.

    Got the e-mail today that they will be shipping it out within a day.
