What MTB pedal do you use and why ?

[Slowbee]

in normal languuage what is meant by float ?

 

 

 

[Mr LOOK]

It means that there's some degree of movement in your pedal/foot when clipped in.

We'll you get differant types of float. There is cream soda float, Fanta float and the other day I even saw a juicy thingy float. But my favourite is still a coke float.

i love a cream soda float - but not on my cleats.

 

Mr Look, if you have float does this mean the clip of the pedal allows for movement of the cleat (and hence the shoe) ?

Would be pretty keen to see a price comparison here cos im looking for new pedals...and then hear the opinions...on which is best based on value for money.

[/quote'] Slowbee, I'm not 100% sure what you're asking ....but with the Quartz cleats you've got 3deg angular freedom/float(so when you're clipped in you've got 3deg's) of movement, and 1.5mm sideways freedom. You've then also got 2 cleat options, a 15deg release angle and  a 20deg release angle.

What pedals do you use ?

I currently have some Shimano model on my XC bike. Works really well' date=' but a combination with this and road cycling aggravated my ITB pain so I switched on road to Speedplays - more float is great.

Thoughts ?

If you are getting more "float" with Speedplay then I think you mist the point of speedplay - haha. There should be very little play once setup correctly. OR perhaps I misreading and you are saying you prefer more float.

 

Or maybe Im just confused.
