For the tenured triathlete, the title of this post would cause a quick rise in blood pressure. I'm selling my new set of triathlon shoes and cleats. They are both top-of-the-line equipment. You can't purchase any better. I'm proud of my equipment, but severely disappointed I can't use it. Spread the word if you know any triathletes/bikers!

Editorial Review
Our resident Ironman vet said the Tri Fly offers "great power transfer without much leg fatigue, which is key when you're looking at running once you're off the bike." They also held up to race conditions. "I tested them for real—attached to my bike and rolling down the street with my feet on top, putting them on on the fly," she said. "They worked very well for that." The Tri Fly's unidirectional carbon sole is stiff with a low stack of 7.5mm, which provides the power transfer she raved about. The shoe has drainage ports to help dry wet feet, along with cooling mesh on the upper. An extra cushion pad under the ball of your foot keeps bare, wet feet comfortably in place, and the strap system lets the shoe body open wide for fast access in transition.
Speedyplay Zero Advanced Pedal System
"You can choose either a fixed position or up to 15 degrees of float. Zero pedals maintain the traditional feel of a fixed system while incorporating all the well-known advantages of Speedplay X Pedal Systems. Dual-sided Zero pedals offer light weight, easy engagement and disengagement, a low 11.5mm stack height and superior cornering clearance. The engagement mechanism does not rely on spring tension for retention, so you don't have to crank down a tension adjuster just to prevent inadvertent release. Best of all, you can choose either a fixed position or a microadjustable 15 degrees of float. Comes with cleats (and mounting hardware) compatible with virtually every road shoe in the marketplace."
Speedplay Zero Review on TriSports.com
"SPEEDPLAY Zero Chrome-Moly - The SPEEDPLAY Zero Chrome-Moly Pedal System features read like a pro racer’s wish list. No other triathlon pedal comes close to offering the superior adjustability or cutting-edge specifications of the Zero. Compare the key features of SPEEDPLAY Zeros to any other brand, and you’ll find that other pedal systems are no match. By thinking “outside the box,” SPEEDPLAY created and patented the most technically advanced clipless pedal system available. What more needs to be said? How about Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Paris-Roubaix, Amstel Gold, Paris-Nice, World Time Trial Championship, Tour of Germany, Tour of California, Tour de Georgia, Hawaii Ironman World Championship, and the countless other races that have been won by champions using Zero pedals. SPEEDPLAY Zero Pedal Systems are simply the winningest road pedals on the planet."
