This thread is not going right- It has stayed on topic righ the way through and we are not used to that. And this thread is about pedals- Shoes are closely related to that- and I was going to ask SKT
Will the speedplays work with the MTB 2 bolt shoes- or are they the road type 3 bolt cleat fixing?
Not that it worries me as I will be staying with my MTB shoe and A520 cleats.- but I am up for new shoes shortly- and that may mean pedals aswell. And if it is both- Might even go Look pedals and a "Road" type shoe.

Speedplays are 3 hole and 4 hole compatible but not SPD compatible.
My PI Vagabonds have both SPD and Look holes.
I am thinking about a new pair of Sidis though

I just can't decide between the Zero and Light Action pedals
I do like the idea of adjustable float... I don't know if I need a full 15 degrees. Maybe I don't need any.
So the adjustibility almost sways me to the Zero
Except I heard that the Zero is harder to click in and click out of (hence the Light Action pedal)
What is "harder", exactly. I mean, how hard is hard.
I'm used to SPDs, which aren't tightened down very much -just enough- and they still take a pretty good "kick out" with the heel to get out of.
So is this a concern? What would I be more used to?

I just installed and rode the Z Speedplays yesterday. Please share cleat positioning tips & tricks.
The cleats move forward & aft (shoe attach point) as well as right to left (actual cleat).
Please help me understand what the fore to aft will do for me and what the left to right adjustment does.
I noticed that when moving aft, I started to experience a bit of foot cramping and some heat buildup. Is it a hit or miss setup or are there some experiences you Speedplay folks can share with me?
Thanks in advance.

Read Dr. Raforth's material on lower extremity difficulties if you encounter them. https://www.cptips.com/toc.htm#table
He has advice there as to which way to go in setting the position on any cleat not just Speedplays.
