  1. I'm sure this has been rehashed many times already but
    heregoes. I'm in the market for new pedals. Anything
    compatible with Carnac Quartz road shoes. Currently on the
    original Ultegra SPD and I'm tired of the small platform. I
    avoided Speedplay because of the high cleats but they've
    improved that alot so they're a possibility. Are they all
    fairly equal in terms of platform size, entry/exit ease so
    it comes down to style? I may go back to Looks otherwise.

    So you're saying that although you know it's been talked
    about already, you want people to spoonfeed you info? In a
    group for which this topic is not appropriate?

    How thoughtful.

    Check an archive like at groups.google.com or the
    appropriate group like rec.bicycles.tech.

    You forgot to look into the Time pedals. It is a known fact
    that they are the best.

    Peter,

    Do the cromoly Zero's have real bearings like the X2? Or
    bushings like the X3? I always heard such bad things about
    the X3s...

    Glad to see they are coming out with something a little less
    expensive.
