Are Speedplay X2 pedals discontinued?

[zero85ZEN]

All that is needed to keep all of us X series users going on our favorite pedal system is a future supply of the wire clips. That’s the only part that wears out if you properly maintain your pedals and use cleat covers.
If Wahoo stops producing cleats, we need to somehow find a way to source the wire clips.
Perhaps a group buy with a Chinese manufacturer to get production jump started?

It is June already, so I checked the various bike retailer websites.

Nothing.

Anyone seen any updates?

I think Wahoo really botched this acquisition. You can't even find a pack of the dustcap grease port things to buy. Forget about X series cleats.

The Colorado cyclist website says they are able to order the cleats.

My suspicion is that Wahoo could care less about the X series. It makes more sense, at least from Wahoo’s perspective, for Wahoo to limit the road pedal to the Zero series (which can function identically to the x-series depending in set up), and focus on the Speedplay pedal-based power meter.

This may be true, but there is still a lot of money they are leaving on the table by not producing cleats (not to mention ill will). I am sure Chinese versions will be available for X series and Frogs if Wahoo doesn't get its act together.

Can't add them to the cart, though

I’ll again state what I posted earlier, the only thing needed to keep the cleats going for a VERY long time is replacement wire clips. If those can be sourced then a few pairs of cleats can be rebuilt almost infinitely if care is taken to keep them clean so that nothing else wears excessively.

These work great for that, too

Actually you can. Just go to your cart, they are there. It doesn't look like they charge your credit card though.

EDIT: Went through the steps, won't let you do the final "place order".

Yes, confirmed

What does the wire clip look like? I could not find a picture of the clip alone.
Looking at it installed in the cleat looks like a stainless wire rod that I most likely could fabricate. What would one pay of these clips?
