I got a second set of cleats and they didn't rock. Check out the Serotta board for some good Speedplay feedback. Here's one thread:

Don't get me wrong, I think the Speedplay concept is good, but it doesn't execute well. Maybe if they used a bigger lollipop pedal body to give more lateral support to resist twisting motions they might fix things.

If it helps, I'm a Sagittarius; I like long walks on the beach at midnight; and the person I'm looking for will be a dominatrix who's into latex, knows how to wield a razor strop, and enjoys frottage as much as I do.
