the only off putting thing about speedplays is that there is so much float that they can feel unstable. i had a pair of the frogs that worked well but what got me was the fact that because there's no spring mechanism you can't hear a click when your foot exits the cleat, it sort of just disengages. that, and they don't release to the inside (which comes in hand in a crash i'm sure). other than that i thought they were great. just for road riding mind you (even their MTB pedals).
