I recently changed from Speedplay X-2 pedals (used them for years) to
Speedplay Zeros (ti), because I didn't need so much float and found that
my heels were hitting the crankarms from time to time. I am having a
terrible time clipping into the Zeros, especially with my first foot. I
can't clip in at all from a dead stop as I normally do, despite putting
all my weight into it. Instead, I have to start pedaling without
clipping in, then I am able to clip in after several attempts. I've
been riding clipless for several years so am not a newbie at this; are
these pedals just exceptionally hard to break in?
They are also harder to clip out of than my X-2s (or the Eggbeater
Candies I have on my mtb), but I can manage that.
I am a petite female (5'2", 105 lbs) and just can't seem to get enough
force to clip in. I love the pedals once I am clipped in, so I do want
to make this work; I am just not sure how. Are they easier to clip in
if I set them for more float? Right now I have them set for zero float
inwards (don't need it since I toe out a bit) and about 3 degrees
outwards, which seems fine for my knees - I just can't clip in!
Thanks much,
Emily
