Speedplays: Ultra Light Cleats with Zero pedals?
I am heavily invested in Zero pedals - have about 5 pairs, and just rebuilt two titanium pairs. However, I am having difficulty clipping in - often. I weigh about 121-122 lbs. So, thinking about the Ultra Lights, but don't want to have to get a whole new entourage of pedals.
Anyone have any problems using Zero pedals with the UL cleats? Does that negate the ease-of-entry for them?

yes it works, maybe not ideally but not noticeable IME. The ultra light action is so easy to clip into and out of I couldn't tell the difference between the zero and LA pedals.

Sorry, I don't know anything cleat compatibility, but you can adjust the cleat tension by bending the crescent-shaped spring inside.

Tighten the screws to 2.5 Nm (don't forget the blue loctite). They even sell a torque key for that. I forgot if I tried Ultra Light Action cleats with Zero pedals or Zero cleats with ULA pedals. I wish I remembered which combo it was but it was a pain getting out. I had to really twist my foot a lot more than usual and it was not fun at all.
