Just discovered the TE forums a few days ago and have been browsing through posts. Been looking for information and suggestions on pedals and shoes and have found quite a bit, but I still have a few questions.

The Specialized Sequoya I've been riding since May of 2004 has its original pedals with toeclips (I took the straps off after one or two rides because I was sure I'd get my foot tangled in one sooner or later). Now I'm looking at clipless pedals, mainly the Speedplay Zero and the Speedplay Frogs. I've never had knee problems but I do like to move my foot around a little bit on the current pedals so I'm not sure I'd get along with zero float. However, I want to be able to pull more on the upward stroke than I can with the current pedals. Do the pedals with float compromise this? The Speedplay Frogs would otherwise be the easy winner because they sound like the easiest to get in and out of - something I'd need since I'm really klutzy in the feet.

Also, is the only reason for going with titanium for the lower weight? Is it worth the extra cost for touring (like I do) or is it mainly for racing?

Any suggestions and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
