Currently I'm using my SPD's, but I'm thinking of switching out to my Speed Plays for weight and road use.

Which Speedplays?

mstateglfr 

SPD A530s.
Allows me to be locked in when i want and has a good platform to use during uncertain terrain, like downhill on large loose gravel.

Drummerboy1975

Speedplay Zero's

I don't quite get this. Do you already have road shoes & pedals? Speedplays are very nice but are really finicky if you get even a small amount of grit in the cleats. I've switched to Looks because of that.

Hypno Toad

Crank Bros Eggbeater, easy to engage the first time, every time.

iSSi. Lighter and cheaper than XT.




Thinking about the new Flip pedals so I can hop on without wearing riding shoes.

Still using good ol' Look Keo 2 Max pedals here.



Will probably get the same when I break another pair of older Look Keo's on the other bike. Have wanted to try other pedal systems, but end up cheaping out since I'd have to buy double of everything for two bikes. They are fairly cheap. Ribble has them for around $53 not including shipping: Look Keo 2 Max Pedals - Pedals - Ribble Cycles

Edit: I use these for road/commuting. Didn't realize this was for gravel or cyclocross until after posting. Ah well...

Garmin Vector 2.

Kind of thinking of selling it to pay for a p2m so I can go back to SPDs. Seems a little crazy, but I don't like the crank on my bike and this would give me a good excuse to replace it. It would also be a lot more walkable which would be really nice. I'm starting to like dirt riding.

I use entirely different systems for different bikes. Road only and gears - Forte LOOK Delta w/ black cleats. (No float is best for me.) Fix gears - toeclips, (good) straps and slotted cleats. Pulled tight, my feet stay in. And even if I do uncleat, my feet are still in the pedals. Important at 200 RPM. My "new" gravel bike, SPDs and MTB pedals set to close to the hardest release. (Allows me to use 45 North Fasterkatt boots.)

How much weight is this really going to save you? Seems like you could find some other, more meaningful ways to put the bike on a diet.

Crank Brother Candy's on the bikes that routinely see dirt.

Kopsis

Time ATAC on everything (even the road bike).

Canker

I'm with this guy. I'm a mountain biker primarily and don't want to deal with different pedals/shoes so Time pedals go on everything. They are what I started with and haven't given me any reasons to try something else. Time pedals are indestructible, don't clog, and are easy to get into and out of. I don't care about weight.

Kopsis

Speedplay Nanogram Zero with walkable 4-hole cleat is 230g. Time ATAC XC12 with cleat is 147g. There are good reasons (mostly adjustability) to prefer road pedals, but weight really isn't one of them.

Speedplay Syzr is on but not yet used yet.

I have a seasonal setup, using an aging pair of 286g Shimano A600 single-sided SPD road pedals for spring/winter riding where muck and slop is an issue, or I want to wear my insulated shoes, which are SPD for their more secure walkability in slippery, snowy conditions. They've been great, and I really like the wide platform, both for stability and being able to just stand on the pedal without clipping in. When the pedal was introduced, it was unique, but now Sampson's Fondo offers a good alternative, being almost just as light at sub-300g and a little less expensive. The knurled patch on the underside of the pedal is a cool touch.

In the summer, I run Mavic SL Ti road pedals because my roadie is thus equipped, too, and it's convenient to not have to change shoes depending on ride type. They're pretty light, but out of production, so I'll need to revamp my pedal assortment when the older pair is worn. Look Blades will probably be my choice when the time comes.

EDIT: I was mistaken about the model number of the Shimano pedals, which are silver A600s, not A520s as stated earlier.

HOWSER

I've been riding on SpeedPlay for 20+ years, most recently the Zero's. I would not recommend these for off road use.

Ran both Crank Brother Candy's and Eggbeaters. Both failed on me in less than a season. The Candy's fell apart half way through the DK200 last year, left me basically stranded. The Eggbeater's failed in the same manner at a CX race. On both the bodies separated from the spindle. I'm done with them.

Been competing on the Time ATAC's lately and they've been great.

Seattle Forrest

Ran those for years, including on a Cervelo. Loved them. Might go back to them.

KonaRider125

Shimano XTR pedals are hard to beat, likely the only pedal I will buy from now on.

bbbean 

Great pedals for the road. Lousy pedals if you're going to spend any time at all walking around in dirt, gravel, grass, mud or other things that can get into the cleats.

The Speedplay Syzrs have gotten decent reviews. If I ever wear out my xpedos (spd compatible titanium pedals) , I'll probably try a pair of those.

+2. Even on the road bike. No compelling reason to walk with duck feet.

jfowler85

PD A600s on gravel and road, dry/wet/snow/ice and in traffic. Great pedals with walkable cleats.

BluesDawg

Shimano M785 XT SPD Trail pedals on the MTB and gravel bikes. A600 SPD or SPD-SL 6700 on the road bikes.

No-name platforms on my frankenbike. SPD-SLs on my road bike, but I'm considering experimenting with Rivendell's advice and ditching the clipless shoes entirely for flat touring pedals. I feel like I might ride the road bike more often if I don't have to suit up all the way, plus I have a bunch of garbage miles with traffic lights between my apartment and PCH. Oh -- and I've had knee trouble in the past. I figure if it's terrible, I'll have a backup pair of platforms I can throw on the touring bike I plan to build this winter.

BigC_82

I use Crank Brother Egg beaters 3 pedals on both mtb n CX bike. My first set of egg beaters pedals lasted 5 years on my mtb.
