Are Speedplay X2 pedals discontinued?

[Matthew]

Pretty sure I'm switching to Shimano soon. I may have 3 pair of X2 pedals available in the coming days if anyone is interested. All are used but still spin smooth and work nicely. Lots of miles on each but no issues. Not looking to gouge anyone either. Might be a few weeks or so though. Not going to put an ad in yet until I know the Shimano's are how I want to go. But no way I'm paying $100+ for cleats for the X2's. I will have a set of used cleats too. Not pristine but some miles left in them. PM and we can discuss. Thanks, Matthew

I tried this as well (the quote refers to just switching to the Zeroes and opening the float up all the way) and I was totally fine with it. But yes, it’s definitely not quite the same feeling. Pedals are clearly a very personal thing.

I am going to take a "wait & see" if Wahoo officially announces whether it is discontinuing the X series.

If they do, then I am going to need to find another pedal system after 30 years. Like many I foresee finding replacement cleats/springs difficult & expensive.

The Wahoo dealer order forms dated 3 March 2020 list four Speedplay models:

Zero Cromo
Zero Stainless
Ultra Light Action Cromo
Zero Aero Stainless

The only cleats available to order are Zero Aero & ULA.

So at least for the near term: no X-series, Nano, Pave, Frog, Syzr, coloured bodies, or ti spindles.

Thanks for bring this to my attention, I'd been meaning to get some replacement cleats, so this thread spurred me into action before they become unobtanium...

'Might' be that way already..a quickie search for X series cleats for sale yielded a lot of 'not in stock'..too bad..X series have worked for a lot of people for a lot of time.

[wallymann]

someone in china is making complete pave/zero pedals + cleats...surely X setups are not far behind!

[oldpotatoe]

Just got this from a 'Wahoo Fitness Support" guy..asked him about getting a ZERO spring...

I'm glad you found the parts you needed! Regarding your question about some of our Speedplay models, there have been no announcements made as yet though definitely stay tuned. As Wahoo fully integrates Speedplay into our production and distribution there will be more updates available but I don't have anything beyond that to share with you currently.

For right above.."Speed Paly Zero road bike Peda"

Funny...

Looks as though cleats will be available:

Like the unexpected death of a loved one, the shock is a bucket of cold water to the face. Yet we must all come to terms throughout our existence with sudden loss.

That which we once considered a bedrock of not only our being, but all of existence, extinguished so quickly and ruthlessly, brings doubt about every other pillar of our worldview that keeps us from descending into madness.

Mourn as you must and take solace where you can.

I don't know how you concluded from that web page that X series will continue to be available. The web page is for V.2 cleats, which I believe were introduced more than year ago, long before the sale to Wahoo.

[torquer]

From the Speedplay document (emphasis added):
"Speedplay cleats for Zero, Ultra Light Action and X Series pedals are being updated to our new Speedplay V.2 Cleat. The new Speedplay V.2 Cleat is a running change to current Zero, Ultra Light Action, and X Cleats. The new V.2 Cleat will function with existing Zero, Ultra Light Action or X Series pedals. "

Sounds like cleats for X series pedals will remain available, even if the X series pedal model choices are reduced. But in my experience the pedals are close to bomb-proof, with plenty of rebuild parts available for any problem that a shot of grease won't solve.

That webpage is very old news.
The V2 cleat was superseded by the Walkable Aero cleat circa 2015
There was a specific V2 cleat for Zero, Ultra Light Action and X series, with no cross compatibility. Same for the Walkable cleats.

I grabbed the shop's last pair of new X V2 cleats.

I'm good for a while.
