FLCC> advice on speedplay pedals

[Poulin, Jeffrey]

Marilyn,
 
    Ditto.  You'll get used to the float after a couple of rides and learn to love it.
 
    I oil/grease my cleats/pedals about once a year and probably don't even need to that much.

I love my speedplay pedals. I oil them once or twice a season and that seems fine. I always feel "well connected" with good power transfer. I think you will get use to the different feel. At this point I wouldn't use anything else.

	I'm looking for some advice on Speedplay pedals
	
	I just bought new Sidi's and the Speedplay light action pedals.
	I've loved my old clunky Looks that i've had for 15 years, but though I'd try something new. 
	I went on my first ride last night and I love the new shoes but I'm mixed about the pedals.
	I feel like they are a little squirrelly and if I'm standing going up a hill, they move more than I'd like.
	Maybe I just need to get used to them.  I might send them back and just get a new pair or cleats or one of the newer Look models.
	
	Any advice on these?
	Also I never did any maintenance on my Looks ever. The Speedplays say you have to oil the springs every other ride and put grease in the pedal monthly. 
	
	Thanks.
	
	Marilyn
	PS. you can email me off the list.
