The Speedplay Standard Tension cleat broke after just a few weeks of riding with an incompatible pedal. I chalked it up to an aberration, went to the local shop where I got the pedals and bought new cleats. These new cleats, though, don’t seem to hold up as well.Īfter about 10 months of use, the spring in the left cleat broke. No problems! Some Concerns About the Cleats Not having to commute and hour a day freed up room for pre-workday rides.įunctionally, they didn’t feel any different on the bike. The new Speedplay pedals were just as easy to get in and out of as the original ones, and I racked up a good number of miles since I was working from home. There were no compatibility with my Sidi shoes. I just mirrored what I had previously, tighten everything thoroughly and then hit the road the next day. (The old ones were notorious on slippery surfaces … the stories I could tell about that!) I noticed right away that it was far easier to walk in them, which was nice. This new generation of Speedplay pedals has an entirely new cleat system. For the purposes of this review, you’re pretty much getting the Comp model if you want the updated version of my pedals. The current version of mine appears to be the Speedplay Comp pedals, which sell for $150. I bought mine for about $150 this was after Wahoo Fitness bought Speedplay, but apparently before there was much integration between the companies. The Speedplay Comp pedal - minimalist and effective … until the outside edge wears out. That’s when I had to buy a new set of Speedplay Ultra Light Action pedals because the cleats were apparently getting hard to come by - and the cost of cleats was nearly half the cost of a new set of pedals. The cleats I had lasted until about August of 2020. Still, I liked them so much that I bought a used set on SteveBay. The little port for injecting grease was slightly stripped, which spelled the end. Those pedals lasted until just before the COVID-19 pandemic, when the bearings seized.
I put a set of Speedplay road bike pedals on my Lemond Zurich road bike when I bought it in 1999. -The outside edge can wear quickly, sending your new pedals to the Dumpster in about a year.
-Be careful when replacing cleats not all Speedplay cleats are compatible with all Speedplay pedals.-The new cleat seems a little less durable.+Quality customer service from Speedplay.
