Nobody really does. It is a consequence of a certain type of pedal design. You can fix this, but it comes with tradeoffs in other areas (undersized bearings, complicated cleat, etc.).

I was talking about trackies and their preferences in pedals. Nobody's really looking for excuses to use Speedplays on the track. I am just saying that if you don't want float, you aren't going to...

I get that, though single sided has been kind of demonized by people unwilling to climb a little learning curve. The small, relatively unreliable bearings; the complicated cleat; and the "like ice"...

It's a good question. I changed to SPD-SL before the Keo because the old Delta LOOK pedals (my former pedal of choice) squeaked something mean. I have heard no good reason to switch back from...
