Can you use Speedplay pedals with mountain bike shoes?

Speedplay’s “Frog” shoes utilize a 2-hole mounting system that’s found on most mountain bike shoes, but they’re also compatible with popular SPD-style road shoes. So if you’re looking for a recessed, walkable cleat to pair with your road shoes, this off-road cleat may be just what you’re looking for.

Is speedplay still in business?

Speedplay as a brand will continue, and simply be another product line in the Wahoo basket – just like KICKR or ELEMNT is today.

Do all road bike shoes fit all pedals?

Some shoes are compatible with both two bolt and three-bolt pedal systems, but many, including more specialist performance shoes, are only compatible with one or the other. Look carefully at the product description on the cycling shoes product page to ensure your pedals and cleats are compatible with your shoes.

What makes a Speedplay pedal different to look and Shimano?

Compared to Look and Shimano, the lollipop design philosophy of the Speedplay pedal is easily one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the segment.

How heavy are Shimano’s Dura Ace pedals?

On their own, the Dura-Ace pedals aren’t the lightest around at 234g a pair (Wahoo’s Speedplay Nano are an impressive 170g), however, once you factor in the cleat too, Shimano’s top tier pedals become a real eyecatcher for weight weenies at 272g combined, while Wahoo tumbles down the table with a combined heft of 332g.

What is a Wahoo Speedplay pedal?

The Wahoo Speedplay pedal has one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the world, with its lollipop-shaped double-sided clip-in design and incredibly comprehensive cleat adjustability.

What are Shimano Ultegra pedals?
