Have been having issues with my knees and was just wondering if anybody has any experience of using the Frogs. How do they work in comparison to SPD's are they easy to set up, get in and out of and what is the float setting like. My partner has the Speedplay road pedals on her road bike and they seem to be a lot better than my road SPD's.
Ta....
I have some but they're on a road bike (wanted floaty pedals but also to be able to walk in mtb shoes)
They're fine but obviously I've never got them really muddy
Ican't set the float on them but there's lots
They seem bloody expensive compared to most other pedals.
They ain't cheap and to claim to be 'light' when they use the heaviest cleat avalable always strikes me as dishonest. Look Keos have 3 different cleat options giving either 0, 4.5 or 9 degrees of float and may be worth a look.
The best pedals i've ever used, plenty of float(rotational, not uncontrolled side-to-side slop of some others), grease ports for our British summers and decent bearings too. The only downside is cost, but I wouldn't use anything else as I need the float to prevent knee pain.
I tried them on the mtb, but had a couple of issues. Firstly, being a wuss, I had the release angle set very shallow and got bounced out of them a couple of times on rough trails. Conversely, I found that my size 10's tended to foul against the crank arms (Truvativ Stylo) whenever I tried to unclip in a hurry, so went back to using flats.
That said, I don't have any such issues using them on my road bikes, and think they're great. The only set-up required is the angle of the cleat on your shoe, after that they slip in and out (well, on and off, actually) easy as, and they're double sided which makes clipping in on fixed a doddle.
