Just mounted (normal, no zero aero) speedplays with zero aero cleats. I will ride them, but I do not like it too much. Had to mount the adapters from 3 hole to 4 hole which increases the total thickness and which moves the aerodynamic cleat far from the shoe sole such that I wonder whether there will be an aerodynamic effect at all...
Did not like the cumbersome phillips screws either (hard to handle with a torque wrench)
What were you coming from before Speedplay. The adapter increases stack to from 8.5 to 11.5mm, but 11.5mm is still less stack than most pedal systems.
For screws you want a torque driver, not a torque wrench.
I measured 15mm between the axis centre and the shoesole, but it is a bit difficult to measure. The distance with my old spd sl system was also about 15mm, but as I mentioned it is not so easy to measure.
Biggest annoyance is however is what I wrote the distance between the walkable cleat cover and the shoesole, it looks a bit ridiculous now to have the golfballholes on the cleat cover which does however not touch the shoesole. Speedplay should have provided for special cleat covers for the 3 hole case, to nestle up to the sole.
It really does not look like an aerodynamic advantage, if I would have known I would not have bought it. It also does not look as a disadvantage though, so I leave it on for the time being and see how they suit me.
