Strengths: None that I can think of.Weaknesses: Almost no retention tension. They need some form of tension adjustment as it was too weak for the road, never mind the track.
Dangerous as a track pedal.Bottom Line: I bought these "track" pedals especially for the track, hoping that they would have firm release tension - as was advertised. But they were awful with almost no retention. I popped my foot out twice on the steep banking which is an absolute no-no on a 50 degree track banking. I quickly took them off the bike. A major disappointment.

Strengths: None.Weaknesses: They are not safe at locking the pedal, they were very dangerous and constantly disengaged though tout all 3 rides I did with them.Bottom Line: I was very disappointed with these pedals. I've been riding speedplays for years and have always loved them for their durability and quality, not to mention the ride. Right away I noticed these new pedals where made of cheaper materials. After 100 yards of using them I also noticed how cheap they performed as they constantly disengaged, usually on upstrokes. I thought for the price I would be getting near top of the line quality and since they where speed plays I didn't even investigate first, boy was that a mistake, turns out a lot of people have had this problem. I even read somewhere that the springs don't work for the first ride? What kind of BS is that, they don't in fact work for the first 3 rides as far as I can tell, I even had the screws so loose one time there was play. Don't buy these, they are a rip off, I returned mine and had to pay a 15% restock for the privilege.
Price Paid:
$195.00
Purchased At: IMT

Strengths: Compared to my old Ultegras I can't think of any at all. I guess there is one - when pulling straight up it's not possible to pull out of them. That's it though.Weaknesses: Much too easy to get out of for a track pedal. No retainer spring tension adjustment - this is crucial. Much harder to get into than my Ultegras. Too finiky - they keep repeating "Don't tighten the cleat screws too tight!" Give me a break.Bottom Line: I bought these Track Zeros hoping for the ultimate track pedal. They are much too easy to get out of. It takes almost no sideways shoe energy to make a release. I was up the banking last week, got out of the saddle and 'Pop' I was out! That was scary and I was lucky I didn't crash. It happened twice on the same night too. I've been very timid since then.
I'd adjusted the outer rotation stop as far out as possible so that it would take a lot of heel movement to even get to the release point but this didn't help. I phoned the factory and they were no help. They didn't even want me to return them from Canada. To save my skin they're coming off the bike and the Shimano Ultegras are going back on. I wasted my time and money. They're going on e-bay.
