Speedplay peddles

[colby]

I have Frogs (commute/recreational) and Light Actions (training/racing). Love them both. No problems clipping in, but I am not super light. They make my hips and knees happier than SPD-SLs. Never tried the Zeroes or X2s.

I just put Frogs on my Gunnar and love them! I am still getting used to them but my legs and knees do seem happier with them than the SPD pedals on my LHT (platform/SPD on one side). I liked the SPD side of those pedals but hated the platform side as I couldn't keep my feet on the pedals. Give me BMX pedals any time over those.

I am only clipping due to knee issues - I've ridden a gazillion miles on BMX pedals - you do not HAVE to use them unless you want to do so.

I do love my Frogs though. I feel like I've a more dynamic connection with my bike using the Frogs than the SPD pedals, can't explain it unless it has to do with the increased float.

I love the Frog pedals!

I have had speed play zeros for several years. I got them for Chirstmas one year because my step son had purchased them but didn't like them. I would not ride anything else at this point. Yes, they are a bear until you get used to them. Keep them lubed and clean. Lots of road grit gets in the bearings. I use a littler brush to clean the road snot out of pedals and the cleats.

About the knees; zeros have about 15 degrees of float which can be adjusted but that takes a little doing. My knees were really awful and I've had both replaced; one in 07 and the other in 08. I'm now a bionic bike rider and skiier. If you have any questions about that, I'd be glad to talk to you about it.

Ditto with the clipping in problems.

A friend of mine bought a pair, but she couldn't even clip in when putting her full weight on them. I had a go and couldn't do it either

We are both fairly new to cycling, and clipping in so that could explain the problems we had.

My brother has switched to these on all of his bikes and rates them very highly!

Not necessarily. I'd been riding clipless for well over a decade and could only clip into my Speedplay Zeros with GREAT difficulty! I'd ridden the Speedplay X-2's and Frogs with no problems whatsoever.

I love my frogs! I have them on both bikes and love them. I wouldn't use anything else.

The SpeedPlay Light Actions are AWESOME. I love them! They are quite easy to clip out of. If you clip the shoe on the pedal, remove your foot and then use your hand to clip out you will find it's just an easy twist with very little pressure.

They have a ton of float - so much that I had to switch from clipping out with my knee bent (in SPD) to my leg extended so I could get more range of motion.

They are different to clip into as you step right on the pedal. You don't "toe down first then push down heel."

I have them on my Orbea and on my Bike Friday. I put the covers on the Bike Friday when not using the clips.
