Why We Like The Speedplay Zero Pedals
We’re excited that Wahoo is bringing back the Speedplay Pedals, and at the top of our list is the new edition of the Speedplay Zero. They're are already known as one of the winningest pedals on the planet, and with the new updates, we reckon they’ll be one of the longest-lasting too. We’ll throw the new Zero on our race bikes, hoping to channel a bit of that Alp de’ Huez power on the next gradient uptick.

Multiple warranty issues
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Here we are in April 2023 and I've had the "luck" to have to replace 4 sets of Zeroes with wahoo on warranty because of the lateral play (on 2 bikes). The replacement set they just sent me - SAME issue! My knees don't react well to the lateral play- even a little bit... They're really helpful in customer support, but this is too much. For those who have had no issues, I'm jealous. My old Zeroes needed some care now and then but they were amazing compared to this!

X Cleat
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I am looking for new pedals since Speedplay is no longer supporting the X pedal. I will not purchase any further products from Speedplay. Mostly since they stated they were going to develop a replacement cleat for the X pedal, but that was not true. I just spoke to them and they said they cannot help me find new cleats. For years, cyclist have complained about Shimano "owning" the industry, but as it turns out they are the only ones you can trust. Although my pedals are fine, they are worthless because I cannot find replacement cleats. I would not trust Wahoo (ridiculous name) or speedplay. Take your money elsewhere before they change their pedals again and stop support your cleats. Buyer BEWARE!

Even better than before

Upon returning to cycling after a 5 year hiatus, my new bike came with a set of Shimano 105 SPD’s. I bolted up the cleats and put about 800 miles on them before deciding to go back to the Speedplay system I had used since the mid 90’s. From the adjustable float to the dual sided entry they out shine the competition in every way. I never experienced any problems with the original speedplay design but the improvements Wahoo made to the pedal and cleat are fantastic.

No Other Choice For Me

I have been riding for decades, have tried a range of pedals and switched to Speedplay eleven years ago. I love the dual sided entry and the free float. It's the only choice for me, though I am working through my diminishing stock of V2 cleats. I'm not a big fan of their walkable cleats, just because the covers tend to fall off. I've found though that a dab of epoxy at installation time helps a lot. Great pedals! I have no idea what some of the other reviewers are referring to. Once you have the mounting plate affixed to your shoe, it's a four screw cleat installation. Hardly rocket science. I prefer to buy the chromoly pedals and install my own spindles, which I buy in titanium at 59mm length, 6mm longer than standard. The Wahoo redesign is superior to the old Speedplay design. It's a simpler design for one thing. Sealed bearings plus a full bearing redesign, supposedly lubed for life.

Better than the Speedplay versions

I had Speedplay Zero's about 2 years ago and hated them because the engagement was so difficult. I ended up giving them away. Since the Wahoo acquisition I decided to give them a try again. I have found the newer updated contact ring to be a big improvement over the original design. The cleat spring expands over the pedal body much easier than before. I have always liked the adjustable float with these pedals. Unlike other comments regarding the cleat setup I found them to be quite easy to mount and adjust. I have not had to use any lubricant on the spring. As far as riding with them they are no better or worst than my other pedals which are Shimano DuraAce, Time XPro12 and Look Keo Blades. I would buy them again.

Why the hate it's perfectly good.

These new Wahoo Speedplay pedals use the same cleats as before, come with a set of aero walkable cleats, and now have a much better (less likely to wear out) contact system. The integral o-ring won't pop out like the old ones and the bearings spin well. Otherwise they have the same pro/con as the old ones. The cleats take some time to set up correctly and you need to periodically adjust them and reset the screws to maintain proper tension. Float is excellent and I think they are about the same clip tension as the old "lite action" units.

Worst Cycling Product Ever
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm a multi-sport athlete and buy a lot of gear. This is by far the worst product I've ever bought for cycling. Setup is a nightmare despite the detailed instructions and requires no fewer than 14 screws and 12 different pieces. If you're thinking it will be worth it to have pedals with the 'ease' of double sided entry you'd be wrong- these are the hardest pedals to clip into and out of. I'm normally a big fan of Wahoo products and all the news and reviews had me thinking they improved on what many claimed was a good product. Don't believe the Wahoo marketing hype and slick promotions. Shimano SPD-SL cleats and pedals are superior in every single way. So save yourself the hassle and disappointment and don't add Speedplay to your shopping cart.

Really want to like them

I've been a Speedplay fan for years, so I was looking forward to trying out the new, Wahoo version ( they had me at "no more grease gun!"). At first everything looked great - much improved packaging/instructions, clean pedal design, all-black cleats, etc. But something seemed off as soon as I began using them. My feet felt like they were constantly moving around on the pedals (almost like the cleats had a loose grip on the pedal) and there was some pretty serious clicking under any kind of load. Spent a couple hours adjusting, cleaning, re-adjusting, and torque-speccing the cleats with no success. Turns out it was actually the pedal itself that was loose on the spindle. There was at leas a couple mm of side-to-side travel on both pedals. This was something I had never seen before on any of my previous Speedplays. Contacted Wahoo about the issue. After sending several pictures and videos of the issue, they told me to stop using the pedals "immediately" and send them back. I asked multiple times what the problem was, and if it was a common issue, but they avoided the question each time. It almost felt like they were trying to hide something. No idea if this is actually the case but was definitely a little disconcerting. Again, I have been a Speedplay fan for a long time, so hopefully this is just a one-off issue and the replacements will be fine. I very rarely ever leave reviews but I thought this was worth sharing.

Q1: what is the weight difference between the Wahoo Speedplay Nano and Zero models? Q2: Will the old Speedplay cleats work with the new pedals or is the cleat design changed? Q3: With the new sealed bearing design, do the pedals need to be serviced with new grease every year? If so, is this easily done by the user as done with the older Speedplay pedals?
