Which Speedplay Frogs do you recommend?

[Crankin]

There's only one kind of Frogs.
There are many kinds of Speedplay pedals, but all of the other ones (besides Frogs) are road pedals, not recessed mountain bike pedals.

oh, thanks...are they also referred to as lollypops?
I heard that expression when someone was referring to their cleats.

I don't think I've heard Frogs referred to in that way, but that may not mean much

"Lollipop pedals" are the Speedplay road pedals (X, Zero, and Light Action). Not sure about the cleats...

I ride Zeros, and yes, they're a pain to clip in and out of, expecially when they're new. But I like the adjustable float cleat and double-sided pedal, so I deal with it. X-series pedals require far less force to clip in and out, and I've heard the same thing about Light Actions.

A ride report on my blog from May has details about my experiences with the Speedplay zeros and then the light action. Here is the link:

I'm on Look Kéo Max 2 pedals now, and I like them, except they are sometimes a pain due to their one-sidedness. The path I usually take has a series of road crossings that I need to unclip for, and about half of those leave me looking down to try to id the right side of the pedal for clipping.

I use Keos, too. I do like them for the most part, but there some days where I just struggle to get clipped in. . I consider it operator error on my part, but it's aggravation nevertheless.

I like Frogs myself.

Actually there are 3 models - all identical except that you can get them in Chro-molly $, stainless steel $$, or titanium $$$$. Slight difference in weight major difference in price.
