Do any pros use Speedplay pedals?

SPEEDPLAY,now owned by Wahoo Fitness, is a brand of clipless road cycling pedals. Wahoo Fitness re-engineered the lollipop pedals for increased durability and easier setup and maintenance.

Do Speedplay pedals wear out?

To be fair they do last a long time. I’ve had to replace about three times in six years. I try and avoid walking on cleats, but I find that it is the metal spring in the cleat which wears away first. Speedplay are unique in having the attachment mechanism in the cleat itself rather than the pedal.

What is the difference between Speedplay pedals?

Key differences include: Triple sealed needle/cartidge bearings — lower maintenance with no need for additional grease. Revised pedal body for increased durability (steel ring/cap/halo encircles whole pedal surface) 15mm wrench flats removed — sleeker aesthetic and easier installation via hex/allen key.

Speedplay recommends replacing your cleats every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, but as mentioned, it depends on your riding style, conditions and how much you walk around in them.

The vast majority of riders in the pro peloton use either Shimano or Look pedals because those two brands sponsor most of the WorldTour teams. Plus, some teams like to have all of their riders on the same pedals so that a domestique can give a team leader his bike in the case of a mechanical emergency.

When should I replace my indoor cycling shoes?

Why are Speedplay pedals easier to set up?

Cleats are easy to set up. I always found the Look cleats a bit fiddly to get in the right position. If they were slightly out, it could cause problems. Speedplay are much easier to set up because of the greater degree of lateral movement. Optimal power transference because the pedal is encased in the shoe with minimal stack height.

What’s the difference between Speedplay X and zero?

Difference between Speedplay X and Speedplay Zero The Speedplay Zero, are essentially the same as the X series, but you can control the amount of float, offering more adjustability than the Zero, which are always set to maximum float. With the X, I always end up brushing against the side of the cranks.

Is there a micro adjuster for Speedplay zero?

With Zero, Speedplay suggests one option is to use the ‘Heel-In’ adjuster so that it didn’t hit the chainstay and to open the ‘Heel-Out’ to the full float. I have to say, I’ve never used the micro adjuster, but it makes sense to prevent heel hitting chainstay.
