Note: I am cross posting this on some list. Sorry if it is a repeat.
I have been a Speedplay Frog user for a year. I liked the pedals pretty well except for the excessive amount of cleats that I needed to buy. I had always kept the pedals within the normal lube times. But the plastic body cracked. Speedplay fixed them which I must say was after some amount of hassle with a front end customer service rep which was unpleasant (to say it nicely). The tech guy fixed the pedals and was great! His name was Chan. Wonderful guy.
But- - - this whole experience with Speedplay left a terrible taste in my mouth. I started looking seriously at other systems. Because I like float, I looked at Bebops. Then, someone posted Bebops for $40. I couldn't resist that. So I snatched them up.
I have ridden 100 or so miles with them. My observations are that they are simply the best pedal I have ever used. The are as easy to snap into as SPDs but they have much more float. The pedal design is all metal with no plastic parts to break.
They are GREAT! I highly recommend them to anyone wanting good pedals. These are the best!
