Speedplay Zero Aero Walkable Cleats

My speedplay cleat wore out yesterday. I need to buy replacement cleats today. Does anyone have experience with these? If so, what are the pros/coms versus regular soeedplay cleats?

  • Im only a month into mine, but I have found no downside at all. They just work and allow one to walk throughout the house
  • I was thinking about these as well. My current cleat screws are losing their grooves.
  • i have always been a speedplay fan.   though i use light action.     and i change cleats often.     and I use my own screws that are longer with allen key heads.    wish the light action had this type of bottom.

    as a side note i have made an interesting change.      I am now using mountain bike shoes with Crank Brothers egg beaters.   I have a Northwave mountain bike shoe that is lighter than my road or tri shoes.           i now have total freedom with running in transition, walking, stopping during races, etc.

  • Interesting, if you have an opportunity, please post a link to the specific model shoe you use.
  • I've been using these:

    for the past three months. They are removable rubber covers with a hole in the middle which fit over the SpeedPlay cleat. I take them off for races, and just leave them on for the rest of my rides. My LBS recommended them instead of the SpeedPlay version. I don't know they are there, and I don;t have to worry about damaging either floors or the cleats.

  • Addendum...like Robin, I sometimes use mtn bike shoes and pedals on a road bike. Specifically, I have some racing Sidi shoes and SpeedPlay Frog pedals paired. I found them particularly useful when watching pros race up in the mountains. I could ride up, then walk around for several hours waiting for the race.

    I am now planning on doing all my riding with mountainbike shoes.
