When fitting cleats to your shoes its crucial that they are set in the right position as they play a big part in your riding performance. As the main point of energy transfer its critical that they are set up correctly because if they are not power and performance will be lost as well as riding comfort being compromised which could result in injury for the rider.Most riders when fitting new cleats will spend time measuring and fine-tuning to get the cleats directly under the balls of the feet, and then go on a test ride, fine-tune, and pedal some more to find the optimum angle for the cleats, which can all add up to a lot of time. Even when you think you have the cleat in the correct position, a lot of the time it is in fact not set up correctly although this is hard to notice and is sometimes only spotted by someone who is watching your pedal motion.

The unique shape of X pedals provides knee-saving lateral rotation, without the self-centering action inherent in most pedals - your knees don't have to work against spring tension. The compact, low-profile shape of X pedals positions your foot closer to the spindle for optimal power transmission and unmatched cornering clearance. And their dual-sided design ensures easy entry and exit. X Series Pedals were Speedplay's first double-sided design and earned a prestigious Designers Choice Award from ID Magazine, the premier publication in the field of industrial design.
Every aspect of the Zero Aero pedal design has been painstakingly tailored to boost speed by minimising wind drag. Developed specifically for Time Trials and Triathlons where every second counts, the Zero Aero Pedal System provides more speed with the same power. Aerodynamic Due to its aerodynamic advantage, the Zero Aero Pedal System was chosen by Bradley Wiggins to set the UCI World Hour Record of 54.526 km on June 7, 2015, at the Lee Valley Olympic Velodrome in London. The average speed of the historic ride was 33.88 mph. Considered the holy grail of cycling achievements, the Hour Record is an honour earned by the cyclist who covers the greatest distance in kilometers in one hour. Large, stable cycling platform The Zero Aero 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 Aero pedals use precision cartridge and needle bearings - three of them instead of two found in most other pedals - which allows the Zero Aero 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 Aero pedals and cleats are metal-on-metal for durability and safety, unlike their competitors who use engagement edges made of plastic. Foot adjustments 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 Aero Walkable™ 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.
