Q&A: Speedplay Bicycle Pedals?

Question by knotty411: Speedplay Bicycle Pedals?
Hi,

I’m looking into getting some clipless pedals for my bike and I came across these ones which seem good. I don’t know much about bikes yet but my shoes are have 3 holes in them so I’m pretty sure they are for look pedals. I was wondering if the speedplay pedals work with those shoes, thanks.

Well I use the speed play pedals myself and I think they are great. In answer to your question though, no they will not work with three point clips. You need to get the circular clips for them to work.

   Listed right on the site you provided is states 3 or 4 hole bolt pattern shoes will work. So yes your shoes will work.

   I use Speedplay frogs. They most certainly are clipless pedals and truely awesome! I had a real problem clipping in and out of spring tension pedals–my foot just wouldn’t come out and falling isn’t fun. Speedplay pedals eliminates that problem completely because speedplay pedals aren’t spring-tension loaded.

   However, different Speedplay pedals require different cleats! They are not interchangeable! Speedplay “light action” pedals use different cleats from “Zeros” and the cleats on both are different from those used for “frogs”.

   That said, I’m not sure what type of holes my cycling shoes came with, but my cycling shop used an adaptor to adjust the holes in my shoes so they could be used with the speedplay frog cleats.

   I tried 5 different types of pedals before I found one I could clip out of–namely the frogs, which don’t really go with my road bike, but were the only ones I found I could use.

   However I never once had to change shoes. Regardless of which pedal I tried out, my cycle shop had an adaptor to make the cleats work with my cycle shoes. I don’t know however if the same can be said for all cycle shoes, but recommend you check with your local bike shop.
