Another Speedplay vote here. Great for my right knee which has seen two reconstructive surgeries. No stress, no pain. I went with the X2, middle of the road in price with a large amount of float for my "pigeon-kneed" right leg.

I'm using SPD-SL (pd-r600) for a short time now. A very good upgrade from plain old SPD's.

SPD-SLs (PD-R540), which is the 105 equivalent. Lovely big pedal platform after >10years on SPDs. I'm still making up my mind about whether there's enough float. No problems with my knees yet, but I'm often conscious of a vague desire for more float when cycling (my SPD cleats and pedals were very worn and gave me lots). What float there is is quite stiff (even with the adjustment screw largely backed off); if you clip in the shoe by hand and move it through the full float range, it takes a reasonable force. Don't want to lubricate for fear of accumulating road rubbish.
I've had a couple of unintended unclippings when pedalling hard, but couldn't swear that I didn't accidentally push my heel out. That never happened with the SPDs, however.

SPD-SL R540.

No problems since changed to them 3 months ago. Great.

Speedplay X2s on the road bike .. have not had any problems. I like the 2 sided entry and enjoy the "float". I am using Egg-beaters on my MTB bike ... love them ... again the 4 sided entry is so practical. The weight savings is not all bad as well.

Although I was using Look CX-6 pedals when I voted, I have just switched to Dura-Ace SPD because they offer superior exiting to all the Look pedals I have tried. So far I am thrilled with SPDs and will probably never buy another Look pedal.

Look CX-7.

My right foot toe's out aprox 5-10 degrees and is pronated so although expensive, the CX-7's are great.

I used speed play frogs on my mountain bike, but they don't give me the pronation I need.

Speedplay X.

Didn't realize so many other people used them. They are good though.

Dura Ace SPD SL. Expensive but worth it. Knee pain instantly went away. Easiest clik-in ever.
