one of the reasons i love speedplay is the adjustable float. and more is NOT necessarily better. i can not stand 15 deg. float. and happen to love the feel of no float, especially when climbing, that being said, if i know i am going to do a longer ride, with speedplays, i have the option to "open" the float to 3-5 degrees for some movement. I do not understand why other companies do not give you that option with out having to buy other cleats.

at the same time speedplay has its cons. you will most likely loose cleat bolts, even with locktite, and the cleats cost about $30-40.
