    Price Paid:  $185.00 at Talbot's San Mateo

    Favorite Ride:
    King's Mountain Rd.

    Bike Setup:
    BMC Streetfire, full Dura-Ace, Ksyrium SSC SL's

    Summary:
    The cleats mount easily even with the unfamiliar 4 hole adapter plate. The Spindle is still very close to the bottom of the foot and the pedals operate smoothly during engagement and disengagement. Very impressed. More as it develops. Less than 100 miles so far...

    Strengths:
    Light weight, few moving parts, easy set up, They look cool too!!

    Weaknesses:
    Unsure of how contact area will affect long term comfort. (Feels OK after 40+ mile ride though)

    Price Paid:  $100.00 at Used on Ebay

    Favorite Ride:
    Bridges

    Bike Setup:
    Cervelo R3.

    Summary:
    Fantastic! I have the 1/2" longer spindle version and I am very happy with them. I moved from Looks (red cleat) to Shimano Ultegra (standard cleat) and the Shimano pedals had too little float, causing a nagging knee injury. I put on the Zeros and my knees feel great!

    Strengths:
    Float. Adjustability - you can tweak them as necessary to get the float where you want it. I have one foot which kicks out about 10 degrees more than the other, so the zeros make it possible to tweak the float to allow my right heel to float closer to the crankarm and my left to float normally.

    Weaknesses:
    Large cleat is slippery on tile/linoleum. Can only click-out in one direction, takes some getting used to.

    Similar Products Used:
    Looks - red cleat. Shimano Ultegra.

    Favorite Ride:
    That one road...

    Bike Setup:
    Cannondale CAAD 9

    Summary:
    Killed them dead in 3 months (2000 miles). The pros must get a new pair every week. If you want something that lasts get the new shimano's with the steel wear plate. I can't see why people are still buying these things they don't have any life span under real use. My wife uses the X's and loves them. I think they are much better. If you want dual sided entry just buy some MTN bike pedals, they are cheaper and way more durable. I'm giving them a 2 because i have used worse pedals than these.

    Strengths:
    Ummmmm.... I'm thinking...... Color?

    Weaknesses:
    The pedal bodies wore out really quick, they became rounded and my shoes rocked back and forth even with new cleats.

    Favorite Ride:
    any that hurt

    Bike Setup:
    something nice but nothing to brag about
    it was free from my team

    Summary:
    JUNK. they were only good for the first month, then the wear and flaws show up. went through 4 set of cleats in a year. i guess thats normal, but they are expensive to replace.

    the float adjustment screws never stays put, even after loc tite, so 50 miles in my feet are floating all over the place.

    the base of the cleat (plastic) dents easily against the pedal, even after the 1st ride on them new, this causes your foot to rock because there is room for play. the more you ride the sloppier they get and they feel trashed after a couple of weeks.

    the plastic on the pedal body itself also changes shape over time causing premature cleat wear and lots of movement besides the floating movement.

    always had hotspots on my foot more, thought they were my shoes, but after switching to Dura Ace, i knew it was the pedals.

    finally, the plastic on the actual pedal cracked above the spindle. they spun fine, but didnt want to take the chance. and didnt want to get another set of speedplays.

    Strengths:
    none

    Weaknesses:
    ooooo available in colors
    touchy and unreliable float adjustment
    expensive cleat replacement
    cheap material, besides the SS spindle.
    lots of movement even with new cleats due to deformation of the plastic on the pedal itself
    hot spots on feet (small pedal)

    Similar Products Used:
    dura ace, but its not similar at all.

    Favorite Ride:
    Six Gap--Dahlonega

    Bike Setup:
    2002 Bianchi Campione D'Italia
    Campy all around
    Neuvation R28 Aero 3
    Easton Cockpit

    Summary:
    I love these; they're very easy to clip in and out of and have a great amount of float. These are the best road pedals made.

    Strengths:
    Float (widely adjustable)
    Easy Access/Exit
    Good platform feel (contrary to perception)

    Weaknesses:
    None--unless you get the chromo, which are heavier than the SL
