So how much faster were you then oldgit?
I didn't clock it. However the Beacon which is a two mile climb I usually do in the inner ring. On the TCR I rode it in the big ring in the same way I'd tackle a small rise on an otherwise flat road.
I've been riding and racing the same lanes for thirty seven years and I can assure you that there was an awful lot of difference.
What I didn't mention and was just as much a surprise was how comfortable it was as well.
Really? Look at the area of an SPD cleat and an SPD-SL cleat. No more support?
But then you get the likes of those Speedplay Frog pedals - they look tiny, and they're "proper" road pedals, going by the price, anyway. How can they be offering more support when they're so small?
Does the area of the pedal beyond the contact point of the cleat actually offer your foot much support?
Speedplay Frogs are MTB pedals - Zeros are big - the large part is on the shoe, they're basically reversed!
"but I can't ride it till I get a stem...that is'nt coming till January 1st.

njee20 - MemberLook at the area of an SPD cleat and an SPD-SL cleat. No more support?
I looked at both and have ridden on both A520s and 105s. I also find the SPDs easier to clip in and out of.
Your experience/conclusion and mine may not be identical, I can live with that.
