Well, I'm gonna go off topic a bit. Has anyone ridden the Speedplays and Look pedals back to back? About 3 weeks ago, I started pushing the big chainring. It resulted in nice speeds, but after the second day my knees started hurting. Well, I took it slow for 2 weeks. Then, I changed my saddle and adjusted it so that my kneecap is directly over the spindle. Now, my knees feel great. I'm sure the saddle adjustment was the cure. I am running old Shimano Ultegra look-style pedals (probably 7-10 degrees float) and red Look cleats. Would the Speedplays be a great improvement?

I ride 5-6 days a week, 18-30 miles per ride. Totally recreational, but I do like challenging my body.

Coverage on Time Warner cable has been nil, from what I've seen, but then again, I don't watch TV more than 20 or 30 minutes a day, anyway.
