Speedplay Zero entry speed

[Doug Welzel]

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.

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+.
