I was wondering if there was an adapter for Sidi's which could be used with speedplay pedals? I like the looks but they kinda suck because they are one sided...any help?

Get the Zero. They allow you to dial in your float.
They're the best pedals I've ever used!!

I use the X3 Speedplays. They are the bottom line pedal from Speedplay, and they're really not cheap. I think the free float is wonderful. A guy at the lbs hates them, though. The twenty-five year or more age difference just might have something to do with our different tastes.

I used a lot of pedals and have sold them all. I use X-2's on my personal bike. I bought a set of the Zero's for my wife.
I like the amount of float that the Speedplays have. My wife didn't want/need as much so I got the Zero's where you can adjust the release point and the amount of float.
Speedplays take some getting used to as they feel like walking on ice for the first 20 mins. The HUGE amount of float makes you feel almost disconnected from the bike. Once you get used to this. Really like 20 to 30 mins. you'll love them.
They are probably the EASIEST pedal to click into and once you learn your release point to get out of as well.
I recommend paying a bit more and getting at least X-2's. They actually have bearings instead of bushings and have a stainless spindle as opposed to a chromoloy one.
Zero's are another $50 to $75 more than X-2's but worth it if you want an adj. float and release point.
