Pros

Well priced
Good option for those not sure about going clipless

Cons

Finish quality

See verdict and spec

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

The Wellgo and One23 RO-96B are effectively brothers.

As mentioned already, they share exactly the same casting and, come to mention it, cleat.

However, the visual is only skin-deep, and you soon notice that the downside to the £12 price difference is finish and bearing quality. That said, they are lighter (286g).

Verdict

Although the finish may not be quite as high-quality as the other pedals on test - noticeable in the pedalling action - for the price, this could be a good starter set if you are still unsure about getting started with clipless pedals.

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?
