Newboy Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Currently riding shimano pedals on my Cervelo. The left one is giving me endless hassles, always making some kind of sound. LBS stripped it and fixed it, was fine for a while but starting up again.I want to replace the. Any suggestions on new ones? Not Shimano again.
Newboy Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 Time. Or if you want something better get time.  Thanks. I ride Time on the MTB and love them. Which model for the road?
ORCA Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 What about speedplay?Apparently they are quite knee friendly.Any comments.
AndreZA Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 What about speedplay?Apparently they are quite knee friendly.Any comments.  Yip, but at over R1000 a pair and R250 a pair of cleats, not very wallet fiendly. What about Crankbrother Quatros? Â

Christie Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I bought a pair of speedplay zeros to try out 3 years ago. They have been super! I upgraded my other bike to them soon after.  Pros:Adjustable float, or can be locked to have no float at allDouble sided entry, clipping in is a breeze.Low massLots of cornering clearence, shoe scrapes before pedal Cons:Had to replace the clip/spring on one of the cleats. Not too bad considering it saw lots of miles.The bottom of the cleat is aluminium, and scratches easily if walked on. I bought some speedplay cleat covers which solved that problem.Christie2007-07-16 08:05:10

Christie Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Im too scared to lean that far into a corner!I have had 2 crashes (A Didata rider switched me in Edenval race last year, & some red & white barrier tape fluttering in the wind grabbed the handlebar on a training ride the year before that) where I fell sideways and did not unclip the foot on the side I fell to. Shoe scraped, not pedal. This is not good when crashing, replacing shoes more expensive than replacing pedals
Tumbleweed Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 call me a retard (and i know you're gonna) but why time? i run them on my road bike - never run anything else - but i have hassles getting into them.
Icycling Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Even though I lost the SA Speedplay agency - Speedplay X series are the best after 25 years of cycling behind me and many pedals.
