  1. I need a pair of Speedplay X-series pedals for a new bike. Hoping to
    save a few bucks, I've been looking for a used set of X2's but I've
    been surprised at the high prices these pedals seem to command in the
    used market, so I've begun to consider the new X-5 pedals. Anyone have
    an opinion on these? Have the durability issues that seem to have
    plagued the X3's been resolved in this design? Are the X-5's innards
    any different from the X-2's?

    The mani problem with X-3 were the off shore 'puck' and the lack of
    compatibility and durability. Why SP did was make a X series with a chrom-moly
    spindle, instead of a stainless steel one, ala the Zero, leaving the 'puck' the
    same as all other X-series. Great way to get great pedal at less money. Better
    bearings, no less spindle durability, just black instead of silver.
