(New design) Quick Release pedals for the Speedplay mount
Hey guys,
Ive been working on this design for a few months and just finished it, and milled in Titanium for testing. So far so good and very convenient and sturdy!
Is there any need for this for people, just curious what you think?
- Triathlon people are saying its nice to have a skinnier bike, grabbing it from the racks, so it doesn't get caught up on others when transitioning from swim>bike and bike>run
- or traveling and storage needs which was my purpose
I spent some time designing the part and testing it in aluminum before finishing last week and cutting from Titanium. The result is very satisfying. Nice click in and out, no play and retains same 53mm Q factor. Weight is only 10g more, but I can bring that down with some design changes.
Not sure if a Wahoo Speedplay quick release has been done before, so Ill post here and see if anyone is interested in these Titanium axles too. I can make it for SPD-SL also, but only need the Speedplay on my bikes here at the moment.

Let me know if anyone is interested, and maybe I can make a bigger run next time

Some Highways Authorities insist on over engineered designs, and that might have happened here. They should be following Local Transport Note 1/20.
