Speed Play Zeros
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.

Clipping In
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!Last edited by Mako; 07-01-2011 at 12:35 AM.

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.

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.
