I am riding Shimano's but would prefer a pedal with a little float - what do you recommend or is float a bad idea on road pedals?
My MTB pedals have float and I have no discomfort at all.

 

I recently upgraded from MTB pedals to road pedals (shimano 105) with float (Yellow cleats) and it feels great it has lots of float.

Float or rotation...?

 

Only Time and Crank Bros has both Float and Rotational freedom.

The others only allow rotation.

Hi Rich, what color Shimano cleats to you use? The yellow cleats should give you ample movement? You definitely need movement....it's just better to prevent injury this way, although there's a few guys around that prefer fixed cleats (Red-Shimano & Black-LOOK cleats)....try and avoid it. You really need to have a near perfect action to get away with them.

I use Shimanos with the yellow cleats and it 'had' alot of float. The reason I say had is becuase if you've spend alot of time on the MTB and go back to the road bike, it feels like there is almost no float.

 

Talking about float, now I want a coke float.

You are right Mampara...Some guys feel that the 9deg float is too much....for that reason Keo cleats come in a grey version which offers 4.5deg....which should be near perfect for everyone.

Mr Look, are the "easy grip" or something like that cleata here yet? It's the ones that have rubber tips so you do not need cleat covers. Almost like the Shimano cleats.

[/quote']Hi Mampara...they are called the Keo Grip. What sets them apart is the fact that they grip on your carbon sole....so there's no slipping...and they won't slip when you walk. Check with your LBS...retailing for around R205.
