Speedplay peddles

[emily_in_nc]

I like my Zeros a lot, but it definitely takes a few rides to break in a new pair of cleats. They're pretty tough at first.

I tried on multiple rides for several months. Once I got into them (sometimes took a couple miles on my second foot), I loved them, but even at the loosest screw tension, they were a real bear to clip into -- sometimes I was reduced to tears. Also not the easiest to clip out of. I was very disappointed since I'd splurged on the titanium models. My DH loved them (still does). I later read/heard that they were harder for very lightweight gals to get enough torque to clip in, which may have been my problem. Or, perhaps I just got a dud pair. However, I remember that there were enough complaints that the "light action" Speedplays were made in response. I've never tried those so can't comment.

Fortunately I was able to sell the Zeros on ebay for just a little less than I paid.
