In some cases with some brands the cleat to pedal interface can be obstructed due to variations in cleat & pedal designs. Wahoo Speedplay vs.Lake Cycling MTB Shoes are designed to be compatible with 2 bolt style MTB pedals. Other claimed advantages included better aerodynamics, low weight, better cornering clearance and low stack height compared to the competition.
This was achieved by building float into the cleat – which fits over the pedal rather than into it – so that the pedal itself is simply a body riding on bearings, with no other moving parts.Īlong with other adjustment options (stack height, spindle length), this made it popular with bike fitters and riders with specific biomechanical concerns. The Zero’s USP was that it offered fully adjustable, unrestricted float, with no spring trying to nudge your foot back to centre. Over the years, Speedplay pedals have been raced at the highest levels of road racing, time trial and triathlon by pros including Fabian Cancellara, Bradley Wiggins, Kristin Armstrong, the Brownlee brothers Jonny and Alistair, and numerous others.
Speedplays never dominated the market in the way that Shimano or Look pedals have, but they enjoy an enduring popularity thanks to their customisability and unique – for the road market – double-sided offering.
