I actually managed to break one of my old Look A5.1 pedals. I've always loved these pedals because they have lots of float and solved all the knee problems I used to have. I can get a set off Ebay but I'm looking at newer ones, as in newer model Look KEO pedals, because the old Delta cleats might be getting hard to find.

Here's what I never could quite understand: the A5.1 pedal supposedly could be adjusted to allow for 9 degrees of float. The red cleats were advertised as having 9 degrees of float. Does that mean that, together, you get 18 degrees of float? Or does the cleat alone decide how much float you can get?....

How much float am I used to having, using A5.1 pedals on the 9 degree adjustment, and using red cleats?

The newer KEO pedals don't seem to have an adjustment for float. If I get a set of, say, KEO Classics, and use red cleats, will I get as much float as I am used to with the A5.1s with red cleats?

Any info appreciated.
