Disagree with the Speedplay comments above. I moved to them this year and yes IÂ hated them for a few weeks and was considering eBaying them.
He’s dipping his toe into the e-bike waters cautiously. He’s aware that the segment is the fastest growing in the bike industry, but the price to pay is daunting when most e-bikes are in the $2,500-and-up neighborhood.
With a couple of exceptions, such as Crank Bros and Time, many of the 2-bolt cleat designs (Wellgo, Ritchey, Boardman) are interchangable or, at least, the pedal design will accept the Shimano SPD cleat without too much problem. I have a couple of old sets of VP pedals that work fine with SPD cleats, but not the other way round.
On road: Speedplay just shit. [Queue outrage from the zealots who use them. But they are.] Having started out on mountain bikes and Atac pedals, used Time for years but never got on them after they switched from RXS to iClic (or vive versa, I don’t recall). Have now been on Look Keos for better part of a decade. They work and you can get a range of different price points.
Eventually, you get so used to the action of clipping in that it becomes very quick, but even when you miss, you still can put pressure on through the pedals. The same cannot be said of my SPD-SL pedals on my road bike! Once you’re in those, you don’t want to have to put your feet down again unless absolutely necessary.
"But the ride was quick and enjoyable," she said. "A couple of kids on a playground I passed even said I was ‘so cool.”’
The inevitable 30-something MAMIL transition saw him shift to skinny tyres and these days he lives in Cambridge where the lack of hills is more than made up for by the headwinds.
These pedals excelled in ease of use. As Lohmeyer advertises on his YouTube channel, this system is quick to engage and requires almost no extra attention or effort. From a dead stop, the cleats naturally bite into the pedal virtually every time.
Somewhere along the line came the discovery that he could string a few words together, followed by the even more remarkable discovery that people were mug enough to pay for this rather than expecting him to do an honest day’s work. He’s pretty certain he’s worked for even more bike publications than Mat Brett.
Most pedals will have L or R printed or embossed on them somewhere, so it’s worth taking a look before starting to screw them back in. Above all, go carefully and hand screw the pedal to make sure that it’s screwing in correctly, only using a spanner or allen key once you have it most of the way in.
Even with cleats, the Hellcats work pretty well with flat pedals, thanks to the deep cleat recess in the sole. I had some concern about the cleat catching on the pedal, but didn’t find this to be an issue in limited testing. This is probably off-label use anyway, so take this with a grain of salt.
It has been 10 years since light rail came to Phoenix. Here are a few things you probably didn’t know about the impact light rail has had on the area. William Flannigan, azcentral
