I have been been waiting and wanting to make the jump to clipless for awhile now. I have narrowed down my choices to the Speedplay Zero or Speedplay Light Action. A friend of mine recommended the Speedplays because of the dual sided entry. Is the force of getting in and out enough of a LA vs Zero enough to warrant the Light Actions for a first time user? I have heard of people adjusting the float on the zeros so the exit point is less does it actually it work and if so would you recommend doing it if I got the Zeros? I am about 145 pounds if that makes any difference.

If your worried about it. Just get zeros and buy some LA cleats and take the springs out and put them in the zero cleats. I did that for my wife.

You're over thinking it!! buy the LA'S. Dont worry about float or exit angle or any of that crap. get the pedals, learn to use them, your body will adjust to whatever pedal system you choose. the difference between the two is not huge, unless you already have a standard for comparison, everything will feel weird at first.

The light Action are simpler, and work perfectly.

Get 'em.

meh, i say zeros for the adjustable float. both are pretty damn sweet though.

You will get frustrated during the first 1-4 rides. I was close to returning it after 20 tries on my trainer.

After that it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I have the Zeroes but I've used other clipless pedals before that. I'd say just get the Zeroes.

I am going to get the zeros. I will throw them on my ancient mountain bike and put it on a trainer. Break in period and going clipless solved. Thanks for all the help.

Does this actually work? I was under the impression that the shape of the LA pedal made engaging and disengaging easier not the clip in the cleat. I'd love to do this if t works though, I have CP on my left side and I can't disengage Zeros with that foot without my other foot on the ground. I'd love to try LA's but with the float adjustability of my zeros. I wish SP would just make LA cleats with adjustable float, they just need to add those little screws.

You don't even need to put it on the trainer - just set your bike in a doorway or hall (that's narrow enough for you to get a hand out and keep you from falling over) and practice clipping in and out for a bit.

Get the zeros. At a good bike shop they will put them on your bike and have you ride them on the trainer until you are competent with them.

I <3 my Look Keos, but I hate their fragile cleats. And for some reason, its hard to clip into the left side. /shrug

I'm thinking I may switch to speedplays or something else. Any recommendations?

It'll take some time to break in the cleats (C-clips). For the first few times it'll be difficult to clip in. Once they break in...its all gravy.

Other good thing about SP's is the grease port. You can lube the bearings with the pedals on the bike.

Yes works perfect. Just don't use the whole cleat, just the spring.

Zeros are my choice, and I suggest you ride around on some grass so your first fall will be on something soft. You just have to get it out of the way.

No you don't.
