Another Pedal Question

New pedals needed-
I really like Speedplay Frogs because of the degree of float the pedals offer; they are not being produced right now; maybe never again
So now I'm looking for pedals with lots of float, great in muddy conditions and entry on either side. Ant suggestions from those that know?

The potential demise of Frogs may be what it takes for me to learn to bunnyhop
so I can finally go 100% flat pedal.

When I was able to ride a regular mountain bike, I bunny hopped with Frogs; I don't think I could have without them. Now that I con no longer ride a regular saddle bike (DF), I can only ride road and off-road on a recumbent bike, and I surely cannot do the bunny hops on a bent with or without the clipless pedals (:

If you need clip-less to bunny hop, then you are not actually doing a “bunny hop”.

I say this as someone who fits that very description.

The stock cleats have 13 OR 17 degrees as standard depending on how you install them. 13 is perfectly fine.

You are correct. I forgot that you can change how they are installed.

I bought the 10 degree easy cleat.
