I've considered Speedplay Zero but a bike buddy today told me he didn't think they were good for clydes... that they weren't rated for more than 180 pound riders. never heard of such a thing. Any clydes using Speedplay??? Are Zeros what I should look at? Need for a road bike.
Speedplay are fine for big guys. When I got mine I was 232 and now 220. If you get stainless or Cro-Moly, you will be fine. The Titanium are rated for 180 lbs.

The Zeros have adjustable float and are really intended for racing. The Light Action pedals are much easier to get in and out of because they have a lighter spring tension. However, the float isn't adjustable. The Light Action pedals are more for the recreational rider. I have used them since November of 2006 and I have never accidently clipped out of them and get in them extremely easy without looking down. Just step down and start pedaling.
