FLCC> advice on speedplay pedals

[Amanda and Mark Shenstone]

I was going to 'fess up to that point, Mark, when 
I wrote it but decided I wanted my opinion to have 
more weight. Alas there is no hiding from the 
truth!

  Don't trust anything Amanda says about 
maintenance.  She never washed her old bike in 8 
years!  ;-)

    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.
