Pros

Good performance

Cons

Heavier than some

See verdict and spec

We take a look at seven popular clipless pedal models: which is best?

Using the same casting as the Wellgo pedal, it's hard to visually tell the difference at first, but the One23 has a slightly better finish, and a swift turn of the axle lets you know that this is the more refined model.

It follows the same footprint as the Look Keo pedal system - a cheaper alternative, but in saving pounds, you add them to your ride.

This system is much heavier than the Keo Classic, at 328g.

Verdict

It's as easy to clip in to as the Keo but with a weight/smoothness trade-off.

I use speedplay zeros on all bikes, summer (Ti), winter (cromalloy) and track, well on the track bike. So easy to use, no fumbling at lights or junctions. High ground clearance so better cornering and light weight. Only down side, a must is to use cleat covers as wear is a pain in the A**e to sort!

I really don't understand this review throwing in one small platform mtb pedal. I'm a roadie but got fed up of falling on my arse, destroying indoor floors and walking like a duck when wearing 'road' clipless pedals plus how quickly the cleats wear out. So I changed to Crank Brothers Quattro (the top of the range pedal was used by a Continental Pro Team), big platform and lots of float, two hole cleats and carbon soled mtb shoes. All the previous problems eliminated and NO fall in performance - my 10 and 25 TT times were unchaged. Yes, I know they are no longer available, sadly, but the Shimano Clipless Spd A600 Pedals are nearly as good and weight: 286g (per pair). Why people still ride 'road pedal/cleats' amazes me - why?
