Very interesting link that. Cheers. I am inclined to follow them and shun speedplay. I might think differently if they were far and away the better pedal or I was used to using them but this doesn't seem to be the case and I have'nt used them once. It reminds me a lot of the problems around 2000 and soon after with the DMCA. Music, film, printer technology and so many companies desperately trying to keep their customers locked into their products and keep them away from the inner workings. Buying something does not equate to ownership. I stopped following all the legal issued with that so I don't know how things are now.
i have the speedplay zero track and they are the best pedal IMO easy to clip in, hard to pull out of and you can adjust them however you like
also keo cleats can wear out pretty easily as there plastic, speedplay cleats will last you over a season sometimes more
That's really a road use issue, as long as you keep your feet on the pedals they are fine. What kills them quickly is pushing off with your foot every time you stop at a junction.
For day-to-day commute/out and about riding I can stick with mtb pedals and shoes. I don't put my foot down at the lights that much anyway I just look like a twat track standing so if I was out in the road shoes I can do that at lights.
I don't think I need as much float as Time ATAC gives me and find it a bit annoying that my foot can move around so much. My pedalling action is quite straight so would would keo be better for this?
