Speedplay or Keo Look pedals
 

Cant decide between these two pedals to go with,there is only about a $3 diffrence price wise speedplays im lookin at are $115 and keo looks are $119.Only thing i dont like about the speedplays is too much float.You guys had any experiance with either pedals??Thanks for input:thumb:

If you don't like float get the Zero series speedplays.

I went with the speedplay's myself. Zeros. I have the float adjustment screws turned down so I probably only have like 4-5 degrees of float. I liked the fact that you could customize the float, and that the pedals are two sided. Lots of people use both pedals though. They must both be pretty good.

I don't think you will go wrong with either.

I have used the Shimano SPDs, Look KEO Sprints and now Speedplays. I like the SpeedPlays the best. You can always adjust the float on the Speedplays. Plus they are easier to get into after you get used to it.

I just switched (like this week) from the Look Keo Classics to Speedplay zeros.

At first I had the float way high on the Speedplays and did not like that at all. I've turned it down to almost zero and like that much better.

Once you get used to it the speedplays are easier to get into. The reason I switched was for two sided entry. Tired of kicking the pedal to get into it at redlights with cars behind me.

both pedals though are great.

The zeros are only like $10 more than the light action speedplays. I actually paid less for my speedplays than you posted for the Keos, and that was at my local shop.

If you want to have more options for degrees of float, and points of entry then I can see Speedplay being a better option. Just keep in mind that the mechanism is on your shoe so if you tend to walk a lot debris can damage it so cleat covers are good to have for them.

I just switched from spd's to speeplay zeros this week. I choose them mainly becuase I liked the idea of double sided entry. They are very easy to get in and out of.

As others have mentioned, the float is adjustable and can be completely eliminated. The float felt very strange coming from spds and I've discovered that I swing my left heal out sometimes and my left foot generally moves around while my right feels solid and stable. I might just lock down the float eventually, but want to try working on my pedel stroke first. It seems like having a bit of float would be a good thing on the knees, but I'm no expert.

I am no expert either, but yes having float is easier on the knees

Another for Zero's. Better turning to as you have more clearance.
The down side is, the cleats need to be lubed often and don't like being dirty. Don't accidentally step in some mud.

These are the one's im lookin at can u adjust the float on them?Says they have 15 degrees of floathttp://www.performancebike.com/bikes..._20000__400048

+1 on the cleat covers.

The ones with adjustable float are these.

No, you need to get the speedplay zeros to get the adjustable float as I understand it. I think the light action just have 15degrees of float, no adjust. Also, I got my pedels at performance on sunday and they were on sale in the store for $15 less than the web site price.

get the pink ones. they are faster.

btw that's a 4 $ difference :D not 3$

Another convert from SPD's to Zeros. Get the covers. Adjustable float and dual entry works.

I think i will get the adjustable speedplays

I've been using Speedplay X2's for a long time now. Coming from old Looks with the Delta cleats it was quite a change. The float felt funny at first, but I don't even notice it now. Another vote for Speedplays...

I am in the exact same process of going from Keo Sprints to Speedplay Zeros. I just get too much incessant knee pain with the LOOKs and the speedplays are way better for that problem.

Speedplay. So much easier to get in and out of. I used to ride Keo's, never again. I also don't have the much-ballyhooed problem with dirt/mud interfering with the cleats. Just never been an issue for me, and I've been on Speedplays for almost 2 1/2 years.

another SPDSL to zero user here.

adjustable float seals the deal for me, not to mention no more flicking pedal while dodging traffic.

if you been using single side pedal, getting into speedplay is a cinch, almost zero learning curve.

the local performance bike is selling the zero for 110, the light action(non adjustale flow) for 99

great deal, probably never go back to single entry

Just removed the speed plays and went back to Looks. If you want a used pair of X2's with cleats and covers, PM me.

The possibility of Speedplays locking up from grit outweighs the double sided entry for me. It's not like I spend that much time getting in and out of the pedals anyway. I got Keo 2 Max Carbons for around $126 inc. shipping from xxcycle and it took 10 days for delivery. They still have them at that price. I'm a longtime Look user so a little prejudiced but the Look 2 Max Carbon is really light with a big footprint and an awesome pedal.

I started with SPD-L pedals and switched to Speedplay. I like Speedplay much much more. You never need to look down, just stomp and go. Also, in three years of riding, I have never had an issue with debris clogging up the cleats. However, I only ride on paved roads.

Another SPD to Speedplay convert. The adjustable float is the +. I think speedplay should include pedals+cleats+covers. I found covers really necessary, even for a short walk.
