it's instantaneous....just like riding mtn bike spd's. They
also are less likely to hit when cornering...and lighter.

I currently ride Dura Ace SPD-SL (actually the Ultega
version) pedals. During crit starts I regularly have
trouble getting my foot in quickly and it has resulted in
a number of slow starts. I'm interested in the Speedplay
Zero because it is double sided, which I assume will offer
much faster entry. Can any Zero owners comment?

Thanks!

Happy with mine, great confidence in cornering,
adjustable float is nice, really easy on my knees, quick
entry and release.

Yes, just stomp down on them and you're in. You can get the
ZERO "track" version from Business Cycles and elsewhere for
a bit tighter release, but I think the track release is
still pretty easy once you rotate your foot in the normal
way to exit.

Thanks for the info everyone. I might just have to go pick
up a pair. Sigh, what's another $150+.
