I've got a set of Bebop pedals on Northwave MTB shoes. The combo works well, but I have one major gripe...with the large Bebop cleat in the right position, it sticks out far enough to make walking on concrete or up stairs a slippery proposition. I like the easy-out nature of the Bebops, which is good for my bad knee. ATACs took too much force to clip out and made the knee ache too much. I don't need a lot of float for my joints to be happy - actually, I can pedal on zero-float platform pedals with no problems. But I still like the clipless experience...
I'm wondering what other pedal out there I could consider. I'm looking for a smaller, more recessed cleat, a bit of float, and most importantly very low clipping-out force. Speedplay Frogs are the most obvious next choice. What else? How are the Shimano XTR pedals for clip-out force? Or Crank Brothers? Or...? Thanks all.
