I switched briefly to Time pedals (very similar to Looks w/an even smaller, lighter cleat) and my ankles did not agree with the re-centering float (see the previous post!) I did like the feeling of not having the extra mounting plate between my shoe and pedal. I feel like I was spoiled by the ease of clipping in to the speedplays- I was all over the place at first when I put the Times on, and it took me about 500 miles to get proficient at clipping in without fumbling. The size of the speedplay cleat doesn't bother me because I don't walk around in my shoes other than to run in to a gas station bathroom or something...

I just got some used-once speedplay X2s off of ebay for a killer deal
