Dual-sided entry changes how you think about clipping in. Most road pedals have a weighted bottom that orients the pedal body for engagement, but you still need to find the correct face with your foot. The Wahoo Speedplay Comp uses a symmetrical lollipop-style design where either side accepts the cleat. At stop signs and group ride starts, that translates to faster, more intuitive clip-ins without the toe-flick dance.

The Comp sits at the entry point of Wahoo's Speedplay lineup, but the pedal mechanism and cleat adjustability match the higher-end models. You get the same 3-axis cleat positioning that makes Speedplay a favorite among bike fitters: up to 13mm of fore-aft adjustment, 8mm of lateral adjustment, and 0 to 15 degrees of rotational float. Release angle adjusts independently from 0 to 7.5 degrees. That range of customization addresses fit issues that fixed-position cleats can't solve.

Stack height measures 11.5mm with three-hole mounting or drops to 8.5mm with Speedplay's dedicated four-hole pattern. Either way, you're closer to the spindle than most competing pedal systems, which affects power transfer and allows a slight reduction in saddle height. Cornering clearance benefits too—39 degrees of lean angle before pedal strike gives you confidence through aggressive corners.... Read More
