Fiddlier to use than some rivals

See verdict and spec

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

Offering a solid pedalling platform, there is no feeling of pressure being concentrated in one area.

Constructed using a plastic resin body makes this the second lightest on test (244g).

Despite having minimal lateral float, it also has angular float and even more adjustment, allowing you to modify how close your foot is to the crank arm, so you can really get a very personal set-up.

Verdict

With all that adjustability, it's important you know what you're doing. It's a bit fiddly to engage at first, but once you get used to it, there is a positive click in and out - so no mis-engagement.

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?
