Trying to decide on pedals for my summer bike which has campy on it.

My winter bike has shimano and I use SPD-SL pedals on this.

Do I stick with SPD-SL's on the summer bike and mix shimano and campy or do I go with something new for both?

Quite like the look of some speedplay zero's but couldn't really afford a set for both bikes and reckon it could be a pain switching pedals from bike to bike :?

What pedals do people suggest?

    Speedplay would be my pedal of choice, but if you don't want the hassle of switching cleats between spd and speedplay, I guess you've answered your own question. Stick to spd and just put the pedals on whichever bike you are using.

    Get rave reviews, easy to click-in and click-out (easier than Shimano in my experience) and the magazines always give them top buys etc.
    Also, that price is a bargain right now, i paid £60 for mine about 6 months ago, and i thought that was a bargain, but this price is a steal.

    5,000 miles on mine and they're still as smooth as the day I bought them.

    I've got a pair of Xpresso 2 on my Roadrat for weekend riding and they appear to be comfortable and easy to use. A friend of mine has the 4 and reports the same thing.
    I believe the Xpresso range to be the latest range from Time with the main difference being a wider platform.
    Price for the base model though is circa £38 delivered.

    Definately don't want to be switching between cleats if I had shimano on one bike and speedplay on the other but I guess having one set of speedplay pedals and swapping these from bike to bike wouldn't be so bad.
