anybody used them or have any constructive thoughts on the theroetical advantages of .
currently using speed plays ,which i find are great for training and general cycling . but when i`m competeing ,prefer to have something with zero float.

    I thought you could adjust speedplays so they have zero float?

    well theroetically yes, you do up 2 little grub screws on the cleat ,which stop the spring from rotating nd therefore reduce the amount of float. however i find there is a small , say 2/3 degrees of float remaining. which is probably down to the spring rotating within the pedal body when engaged.

    If you have particularly big feet, you might have a problem with lateral adjustment of the cleat and bearing durability might be an issue.
