Speedplay pedals are incredibly lightweight thanks to intelligent engineering. The engagement mechanism is housed in the cleat, not the pedal, allowing you to have a double sided pedal with one mechanism (rather than one on each side of the pedal).

Question

Problems clipping in

I followed the instructions exactly.
I didn't over tighten the screws and i even made sure the cleat was flat and over the ball of my foot.
Ive only been able to clip into the pedal twice and they bother took serious amounts of effort to clip in.
Help?

Keep persisting, the spring slackens-off with use and a little Teflon dry-lube helps.

For the first couple of times they seemed quite hard' especially when your standing beside the bike. Much easier when you pull away from a stop though. Just force down when the pedal is at the bottom of the stroke (not the top).

This is surprising. They should require similar force to other clip-in pedals. Have you used other pedals? If not, you may not be supplying adequate downward force. Also perhaps try a drop or two (no more) of appropriate lube (as per manufacturer's instructions) to the cleat.

Agree with the other responses, but also try a slight twist of the foot as you push down.

answer 5

they do ease up after a while, but at first it can take quite a shove to clip in, just takes getting used to

make sure you can easily rotate the cleat spring back/forth when you push the ends with a small screwdriver/whatever

put some teflon tube on the cleat spring

Have you used the correct screw for the shoe type? There are 2 types.

Also make sure you dry lube them and have the float screws set to extremes.

answer 7

Sorry to hear of your issues with the pedal. If the tension adjustment screw isn't too far in I can only think that there is something else obstructing the cleat engagement. Make sure you are using road shoes with a plain sole, not a grippy shoe. If there are grips around the cleat make sure that they do not interfere with engagement. It could also be the tension of the spring on the cleat which will relax a little over time. If you are still having issues please contact sales@wiggle.co.uk and we will do our best to help further.

answer 1

Much easier to unclip using these. There is also another version Speedplay Light Action where there is less tension in the spring so it's even easier to get out of them. i believe they are marketed for Juniors, newcomers to the clipless world and women (who, to be fair, probably have just as strong legs as a lot of men!)

I swapped from SPD to speedplay on the advice of a friend, mostly for my knees. But these are much easier to get out of with less knee twist. I'll be sticking with speedplay

I would say they unclip slightly more easily, plus the spring slackens-off a bit with use.

answer 5

I find them very easily to unclip. Twist your heel more than 15° (or less if you dialled the float down) and you're out.

Note that any cleat system will be very stiff for the first week or so until the springs/circlips bed in.

use a teflon dry lube, this is what speedplay recommend

if you used an oil lube i think it would be messy, stick dirt to the cleat, and might even seep into the shoe after a while

I use a teflon dry lube and it works fine. To be honest if you use the coffee cup covers then they don't need lube very often and these extend the life of the cleat 3x.

answer 4

from FAQ section of Speedplay's website:
"What type of lubrication should I use on the Zero cleat springs and bowties?"
"Speedplay recommends applying a dry-type (PTFE) lubricant such as SP-LUBE, Super-Lube Dry Film, RD-50, DuPont Performance Dry, Liquid Wrench Dry Lube, Pro Gold or Blaster Dry Lube to the cleat springs and to the cavity where the pedal nests. DO NOT USE A WET LUBRICANT! Wet lubricants attract dirt and debris and effectively create an abrasive “grinding paste” that causes parts to wear. Additionally, be careful not to apply lubricant to the outer plate of the cleats as it may cause the cleats to become slippery on floor surfaces."

If you have the 4 bolt fixing version of the shoe you won't need to use the adapter. if you have a 3 bolt fixing version you can still use the cleats but you will need to use the adapter. The adapter is supplied with the pedals.

The shoes would need to support 3 bolt road cleats, some do but they are rare as 3 bolt cleats are generally road only. You can get the MTB version of these pedals which use a 2 bolt cleats, the Speedplay Frog.
