Did you get the X's or the Zero's? I love my Zero's. You can adjust the amount of float, so I've got enough to make my knees happy, but not so much that I get the ice-cube feeling. I also like that I can be unclipped, but still able to pedal. I find that when I'm in traffic or unpredictable crowds, I can unclip but keep my foot in position - the recessed circle of the cleat holds the pedal well enough for easy riding - might not work on a hill, but I've ridden (is that a word?) for miles that way.

What I read above about the zero's sounds really cool though! Oh well, I gotta live with what I got.
I just hope I can get some decent money from the old stuff on eBay!
PS- "Ridden" is a word.

you'll love these pedals even more as you ride 'em... I ride zero's because I need no float to stay locked into a forward (straight) position...
BTW- pick up the May issue of bicycling magazine too... there is a decent article in there about adjustments to make in regards to different types of knee pain... if your knees are hurting you may need to make some adjustment to your fit... I had my seat moved up and forward and it's helped my knee problem a TON! Since doing that I have successfully ridden 3 centuries... one in feb, one in march, one in april... good luck and enjoy the speedplays!
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
