Using the Speedplay Zero pedals is easy. First, use a #2 Philips head screwdriver and an 8mm Allen wrench to assemble the pedals and cleats according to the quick - start guide. Once installed, you can enjoy the dual - sided entry, which means you can clip in from either side easily. When riding, the customized fit will keep you comfortable and the pedals will transfer your power efficiently. As for maintenance, keep the pedals clean. After a muddy ride, rinse them with water to remove dirt. Check the cleats regularly for wear and replace them if they're too worn out. Store the pedals in a dry place to prevent rusting of the stainless - steel parts. Always refer to the important product information guide if you have any concerns.
