Favero ASSIOMA PRO MX-2, new SPD power meter pedals

How much float to the MX-2’s have? I’ve ridden time ATAC’s for at least the past 25 years. I run the cleats in the 17 degree release position. I’m assuming that I have at least 10 degrees of float. I also ride the Speedplay x/2’s on the road with a bunch of float. Anyone go from Time ATAC to MX-2’s and have any issues? Thanks.

Good question, I’m in the same boat.

It’s mainly the cleats that determine float.

Shimano SM-SH51 SPD cleats have a 13 degree release angle and 4 degrees of float.

That should be enough. I haven’t heard of people having an issue with the float of SPD cleats.

I run Speedplay on road and MX-2s on gravel, no issue with the float on the MX-2s. I feel that it’s quite loose, not uncontrolled, but rather a good free float that doesnt force my foot.

I also tried Assioma Duo, and they felt quite similar to Speedplay honestly.

For me the free float shouldn’t require force to use it, like on Shimano where it wants to center the foot all the time.

Why i havent tried them in the assioma pedals, Look cleats are spd compatible and have 6 degrees of float (2 more than shimano).

Look work fine in shimano pedals, so i assume they work here too.

Thank you. I see Look makes a X-Track Easy version of their cleat that has 6 degrees of float and 13 degree release angle. These should get me close to my current setup.

I reached out to Favero to see if the Look cleats would work with their pedals. Here was their response. They would not confirm or deny.

Thats a strange one, my pedals came with SM-SH56 cleats. I also ordered them within a few days of them being available for sale. Maybe they didnt have their own branded cleats at that time?

Just a hack for the road pedals (maybe this is a bad thread to mention this), Wellgo makes the cleats for them and you can get them very cheap on ALI
