Zeros are great. Lots of float, which I love. Some people find it disconcerting on their first ride if they're not used to it I guess, but I you quickly adapt to the feel. You can always dial the float out. They are light and low profile. Speedplay lists all their advantages online and they're pretty much right. Trickier than some to walk on and you have to be careful not to clog the cleats with debris. But if you're getting road pedals they're for riding not walking right?
