Speedplay Zero Float

Have any of you got Speedplay Zero pedals? If so, how much float do you set? I'm adjusting mine at the moment to find a happy medium, but I'm not sure I'm there yet.

I've set 0 degrees heel out float, so that I can clip out easier, and probably 3 degrees heel in float.

    i have maximum float out, and set the float in so that my feet (size 46)
    can't hit the chainstays or the cranks.

    I have "heel in" float set so that I don't strike the chainstays/cranks and heel out is whatever is needed to feel comfortable - about 3-4deg on one foot and 6-7 on the other.

    IMHO I think setting the heel out float to zero defeats one of the major selling points of the pedals (the others, being low stack height and double-sided) by YMMV

    float is an individual thing, just set what's right for you

    My right foot seems to naturally lie at about 4-5 degrees heel out, and my left foot dead straight. I have my cleats set at zero heel in, and about 5-6 degrees heel out on both sides, which gives me approx zero in and 5-6 out on the left, and 4-5 in and 1-2 out on the right. Although my feet do not seem to move about much I leave the float so I can move the ankle a little when coasting downhill, as I find it all a little unstable travelling fast with no movement (only had cleats for last 2 months so still getting used to them).
    The beauthy of the zero's is you can do what you want with the float (and the double sided clipping)
