What is cycling shoe stack height?
3. STACK HEIGHT: Stack height refers to how tall or thick the pedal and cleat is (and to this we can add the sole of your cycle shoes). The taller this “stack” is the higher your saddle needs to be and the less efficient your pedal stroke due to increased rocking torque.
How do you measure stack height on a pedal?
Put pedal at bottom of stroke, with crank arm in line w/ seat tube. Measured directly from the inner sole of the shoe directly up the crank arm and seat tube up to the top of the saddle. Noted that number to a 1/16 or 1/8″, 2-3mm accuracy.
Do Dura Ace pedals come with cleats?

Do road bike pedals matter?
Pedals are a personal choice, so much so that many road bikes actually come without any supplied. While standard bikes will use the basic flat platform pedal (the type of which you can use with a standard training shoe), the rider seeking better performance should aim to use clipless pedals.
When should I replace my clipless pedals?
Worn cleats should be replaced before they get so bad that they release prematurely or, in the case of SPDs, stick. The other part of the release mechanism is the cleat-gripping pedal hardware. The parts can be made of plastic, carbon fiber, or steel, but constant use will grind any of them down.

What is the difference between Ultegra and Dura Ace pedals?
A cleat with more float will give your foot some wiggle room to move around on the pedal while remaining clipped in. Less or no float provides more efficient power transfer but requires more accurate setup to prevent injuries. To know which cleats you are getting, Shimano uses colours: yellow, blue and red.
How long should cycling cleats last?

Here, Shimano states that the distance from centre of axle to pedal cleat surface is 8.8mm and 10.7mm for Dura-Ace 9000 and Ultegra 6800 pedals respectively.
Which is better Dura Ace or Ultegra pedals?
Would go for the ultegra pedals there they are half the price of the dura ace pedals. Stack height is lower on 9100. Stack height is lower on 9100. And I think the ‘Q’ factor is a mm or two less on the DA pedals. ok, thank you for all your responses. Sounds like the Ultegra’s are still better value
