Speedplay Zero Pave Stainless Pedals Review

• Built around the design of Speedplay’s Zero pedal technologies, the Pave pedals remove all unnecessary material to improve the ease of entry and release when riding in wet and dirty conditions. Originally designed for use by just Speedplay’s sponsored pro cycling teams, these pedals have been through thorough testing over the years and powered many champions to victory including wins at the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix the Gent Wevelgem and Strade Bianche. Technologies: Dual-Sided Entry: The symmetrical double-sided pedal self-locates just by stepping down into the cleat whether the pedal is right side up, upside down or anywhere else in its rotation. No kicking, no fumbling, no looking; just step down and go. Your Choice Between Micro-Adjustable Float or a Fixed Position: The Zero Pave allows the rotational float to be precisely micro-adjusted to the exact range needed or set in a fixed-position anywhere within the 15-degree adjustment range. All Three Foot-Axis Adjustments Can Be Set Independently of One Another: No other pedal system offers the precise adjustment or convenience of independently adjustable fore-aft, side-to-side, and rotational foot positions. Unlike the inexact set-up of traditional cleats, each of the three critical foot-axis adjustments of Zero Pave cleats can be set or changed without affecting the position of the other two adjustments. This feature also eliminates guesswork and misalignment when replacing cleats. The Lowest Stack Height: The Zero Pave cleat positions your foot closer to the top of the spindle for improved power transfer. Unbeatable Cornering Clearance: The thin pedal profile of the Zero Pave pedal lets you power through corners where your rivals coast. Large Stable Pedalling Platform: The Zero Pave pedal system provides the same solid connection as conventional single-sided pedals, but with Speedplay’s unique, inverted design the cleat provides the platform once the cleat is engaged. Quality Without Compromise: Zero Pave pedals use precision cartridge and needle bearings – three of them instead of two found in most other pedals – which allows the Zero Pave to be thinner for a lower stack height, better cornering clearance, and reduced aerodynamic drag. Like all Speedplay pedal systems, the locking edges of Zero Pave pedals and cleats are metal-on-metal for durability and safety, unlike our competitors who use engagement edges made of plastic. True Locking Mechanism: The Zero Pave’s locking mechanism does not rely on spring tension for security, so entering and exiting Zero Pave pedals is easy, but unintended release is virtually impossible. Walkable Cleats: Speedplay’s new Walkable™ Cleat technology for Zero pedals sets a new standard for user-friendly, off-the-bike functionality. The first truly walkable cleats for road pedals, the integrated, rubberized covers stay on the cleats while you are riding. When walking, the covers improve traction and protect the cleats from wear. Additionally, the thin, contoured cleat profile allows for a more natural gait and makes walking in road shoes much less awkward.
