Speedplay pedals

I noticed more and more riders switching to Speedplay pedals. What is so good about them?

They have the word SPEED in them so must be good.

Controlled adjustability rather than loosening all 3 bolts and hoping for the best.

I'm not sure why the likes of Shimano haven't figured out that it would be really useful to make the pedals so that you could reach the cleat screws with the shoe clipped in. Tighten then a bit, get cleat comfy, take off shoe (leaving it in the pedal), tighten properly. Not brain science.

I'm on zero float SPD SLs at the mo and no problems. Could be because I don't ride very much though.

Maybe I'm lucky but never had too much agro setting up cleat position on new shoes. I match them sole to sole against a spare pair shoes and once it's been tested and tweaked if needed draw round it on to the sole with a marker pen.
