Hi All,
Could someone explain what "float" is as it relates to pedals: i.e.,
Look CX6 (This pedal allows you to set float at 0°, 3°, 6°, or 9°)?
Thanks.

Float refers to the angle that a pedal may rotate in the horizontal
plane. Non-floating pedals are fixed and do not rotate at all (float
= 0°). The Speedplay Zero pedal will let you adjust the float, from
0° to 15°.The first pedal to popularize float was Time. They may have also been
the first with float. Time pedals have self-centering action while
Speedplay are free float.For some people -- like myself -- float reduces pressure on the knee.
Some people don't like float, some don't need it.
