Also interesting that too much float could hurt knees. This is expensive if you have to go thru many sets of pedals to find one that works for you.
The Speedplay "Zero" series pedals allow you to do just that. You can dial in the amount of float they allow both inward and outward.
As to too much float hurting the knees, I suppose you can find someone who isn't comfortable with any particular set-up. There are riders who have problems with any amount of float and want an absolutely fixed cleat. Most others find a fixed cleat uncomfortable. I've never had the slightest problem with my Frogs and their great range of float or SPDs with a much reduced amount so that's one data point.
