I am 6'2 and have wear size size 12-13 shoes. I want clipped pedals for sure, the tech was telling me to go with the shimano dura ace, they are around $90. Any other suggestions???

I'm 6'3" and wear a size 12, Speedplay pedals for me.

I like the fact that they lots of float, no adjustments to mess with, easy in, easy out, double sided...

I've never used the Shimano DuraAce, I do have Shimano SPDs on my mountain bike and they drive me nuts. I'll be switching them come fall/winter.

I love my speedplays.  They were a little hard to get used to right at first (I felt like I didn't have good contact, couldn't keep my foot in the pedal) as I've read somewhere else, at first they feel like you're pedaling "on ice."  I had Look pedals before.

But, once I got used to them, they're the best.  I had some weird knee pains before, no problems now, the float really helped with that.  I also found that I have better foot position and better pedaling mechanics with the speedplays because you have to pedal "straight" (if that makes sense) otherwise, your foot won't stay in.  This was a really good thing for me.

Speedplay all the way. I'm 6'7" and the proud owner of size 13 feet. I found a pair of X-2 pedals on E-Bay for $95. The expanded float has ended any and all knee pain that I've previously experienced. I have Time ATAC pedals on my mtn. bike that I like. I am thinking of changing to Speedplay Frogs if I can find them cheap on E-Bay.

I would go with the Look Keo, personally. If you decide on Speedplays, however, I have a set that I will sell.
