Hey All,

I am looking for an Enduro/Downhill style SPD pedal with lots of float. When navigating corners I find myself wanting to twist my inner leg in the direction of the curve but will frequently result in an involuntary unclip out of my XPEDO's which I think only have 6 degrees of float. I do not like the feel of flats so looking to stay with SPD compatible clipless.

Thanks,

rif

How do the multi-release cleats give more float? ;)

toeclips and rat traps, then do whatever you want, float away,
never lose connection with CHRISTOPHE LEATHER TOE-STRAPS

or... discipline yourself to keep feet planted when stuntin,
'cuz imho that's the real fix here. don't do it in the first place

So if I am making a right turn I lean the bike down to my right and try to orient myself to the right by turning my hips rightward and in that process my right leg is bent and the heel of my right foot "wants" to rotate inwards towards the bike. Are you saying I should try to not allow the feet to swivel at all?

I guess I'm wrong too, i wear the finish off of my cranks because I rotate my foot towards the direction of turning.

It's too bad they've been completely discontinued
