Lighter riders and anyone new to using clipless pedals may find these preferable as it requires a smaller force to clip both in and out heavier riders and sprinters will be glad to know that the Comp pedals are also compatible with the standard tension cleats, which can be bought separately for £49.99. Unlike the 168g Nanos, the Comp pedals do not have a rider upper weight limit, so nothing to worry about there. It also results in a claimed weight of 232g for the pair, which we found to be bang on with the Scales of Truth. This leads to the largest aesthetic difference, with the Comps' spindles being black as opposed to silver on all the others. The Comp sits at the bottom of the range, with a chromoly spindle as opposed to stainless steel or titanium, as used on the more expensive options. The Wahoo takeover of Speedplay has resulted in a slight rejigging of nomenclature, with the five sets of pedals now being called the Comp, Zero, Aero, Nano, and Powrlink Zero, with the latter being available in either single or double-sided power meter form. These ship with a set of 'easy tension' cleats rather than the 'standard' version, which lighter riders in particular will find much easier to clip in with.

They still offer a huge range of adjustability, are easy to walk in and are double sided, but the cleats are sensitive to dirt ingress and expensive to replace. The Wahoo Speedplay Comp Pedals are the most affordable in the Speedplay range, using a heavier chromoly axle to save cost but gaining 10g over a set of the £65-more Zeros.
