4. If you have a proper bike fitting, the fitter should do this for you, otherwise, it's easy to do on your own. I'm sure there are youtube videos or blogs explaining how to do it. As far as torque for the screws, it's pretty universal, do it to spec. The important thing is to get the positioning right which a fitter would help you with.
Finally, zero's are pretty frustrating at first, but certainly worth it. Just practice because it's a bit of an art getting your cleat in just the right position. When I switch my cleats out, I find it's a bit of an adjustment trying to get the cleat into the pedal even though I've done it thousands of times.

--By wear protector I mean the shim below. Does this come with the SP pedal systems or is this something extra?

--I ride about 4-5 times a week 7 months a year.
--I've had my fitting but they said I could come back to tweak my fit when I get the pedal system. I think they' said they'd install my pedals/cleats, which is good since I am not mechanically inclined. Maybe I'll watch though if they'll let me.
--Zero's are more frustrating than LAs at first? Would you recommend Zeros over LAs for the reasons that ravenmore lists above?
Thanks...
