I’m writing about the Zero, Speedplay's ubiquitous road pedal. I will follow this up (in another article) with a discussion of Garmin pedals because, while the 1st and 3rd place in Kona were in Speedplays, the guy in between was riding Garmins. The reason I like this pedal is that I can use this pedal to cross-reference the performance of other devices that either deliver resistance or calculate the power I’m producing.īut today it's Speedplay and I’m going to show you how Speedplay pedals are mounted, and when I do this I hope to impart a few of the virtues of this pedal, and why the very best athletes in no-draft triathlon tend to choose this pedal. The big deal with Garmin’s pedals is that there’s a power meter built in of course, and once Garmin chose to become an actual pedal maker – rather than partner with a pedal maker, which it did in the earliest versions of the Vector pedal – the actual pedal function itself improved. Garmin’s pedals are cross-compatible with Look’s KEO pedals. The two I’m riding are Garmin Vector 3s, and Speedplays.
For my own riding I’m using two pedal systems today, and I really like and appreciate each.
