I would like to get some pros and cons before springing for the Speedplay
Zeros with Chromoly spindles. I plan to get and use the Coffee Cups with
them. I am going from some worn out Look 206s to Speedplays and it's a big
jump in price. The bearings in my Looks have worn out and make an obnoxious
clicking sound with every pedal stroke. I am also tired of occasionally
sliding across the tops of the pedals while trying to click in. Has anyone
here some experience with the Zeros?

I can't speak to the Zeroes specifically but I really like my X-2s and the
Zeroes share much of the X design. The cleats are a bit pricey compared to
Looks but everything is a tradeoff, right? About those cleat covers- they save
hardwood floors but walking in them is a royal pain. OTOH, you're buying a
pedal system not a walking shoe. g

P.S.- Maybe someone somewhere has had well-maintained (the grease port makes
lubrication so simple there's really no excuse for *not* maintaining them)
Speedplay bearings fail but I've never met them.
