Clipless pedals.

[Skeeter1]

I currently own two pairs of Onza HO Titanium pedals (one set NOS) but to be honest they are more astheticaly pleasing to the eye than they are for every day to day use for my next ( more rideable) build.
Can anyone recommend or possibly have to hand some great Clipless pedals which don't release when you don't want them to etc etc.
I had some Shimano DX back in the 90's before I moved to the Onza's but I've never tried anything else.
Any help with making the right decision would be greatly appreciated....and even better hopefully someone might have some they might be ready to part with please?

Ritchey's always worked fine for me

Modern shimano spd pedals are perfect, and cheap second hand. Plenty of choice with platform size and plenty of adjustment, and on modern pedals the float means those knee worries are gone.
Probably worth using genuine brand new multi release cleats, and I usually advise you set them central and square on the shoes, unless you've got a specific plan.

If you don't want accidental releases then avoid multi release cleats. Other than that you really can't go wrong with Shimano.
Even a set of the most basic M520's will see you right for years to come.

Great advice...Thank you! I'll bare this in mind

Thank you....I'm now on the hunt!!

It's true some people don't get on with multi-release, but then again some people feel trapped in single- release.
Probably depends on riding style, and of course character

If your knees are at all "dodgy" I'd recommend the Time ATAC pedal system. Simple mechanism, cleats that are made of softer metal than the pedal mechanism, so they wear faster (good because they are cheaper to replace than pedals are), loads of float (similar to or better than the ONZA system), reliable release and (very important in the UK) almost mud-proof.

Oh, and Johnny T(omac) used them BITD.

Due to knee issues I went with crank bros. Never had an issue with accidental release unless the cleats were worn, and you can get more or less float through the cleat orientation. 5 or 15 degrees I think it is depending on which cleat you put on which shoe.

Various platform sizes or none with egg beater. If you can find quattro pedals, they are a road version if you want to run the same style on MTB and road.

I did like the idea of speedplay and bought a couple of sets but never got around to using them.

Ultimately I have gone back to flats to protect my knees, as I think the multiple twist to release action on my commute when I was doing it caused further knee issues (slippery slope when you have less cartilage) but I'd use crank bros on MTB and road rides where I'm not constantly stopping and starting.

My original early 90's DX are still earning their crust.
