Pity about the speedplay management's misbehaviour, they remain the fitter's favourite pedal, for the simple reason that they enable a fitter to get the foot to where it needs to go. All the other systems suffer from the vagaries of the shoe manufacturer's ideas of where to put the holes.
I see more "problem children" biomechanically speaking - and I'm sure my clients are in no way representative of the forum's denizens but I depend on speedplay pedals and the associated hardware to get riders feet in the right place:
It's not a hard system to set up but if you've never done it before you might read the instructions- they supply them with each set of pedals.
They go on any shoes with a 3 hole (LOOK std) drilling as well as the occasional 4 hole shoe. In the 3 hole configuration, you need to use the 3 hole baseplate which is supplied with each set of pedals. In this guise, the stack is slightly less than a Keo as far as I remember.
