Default Upgrade from SPD to ?

Thanks.




Take a good look at any system that willl allow you to move you foot
laterally. SPD's are very rigid and do not allow much movement at all
but are very good for the powerstroke in my case since i pull up as well
as push the pedal down. This motion is possible with other pedals but
Speedplays system has been described as "walking on ice" at times. In my
17 years of cycling i have tried it all from toestraps to Look, Time,
SPD, Speedplay - and it does feel like a slippery piece of soap you are
walking. Don't judge a system by how it will "walk" sine the least
amount of time is spent walking.
