  1. 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!

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

    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.

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

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