I've also been thinking of getting a pair of practical clipless pedals
for my touring/commuting bike.  I currently have Shimano 737's on my MTB,
but I find they bother my knees if I ride for long periods of time, so
I was thinking of getting another set with more float for my other
bike.  To the best of my knowledge, the only double-sided pedals with
float are the speedplays (road or the frogs - both hideously
expensive) and onza's.  While I've heard enough horror stories to be a
little leery of using Onza's on the trail, they sound like they might
be perfect (and reasonably cheap) for touring.  Does anyone have any
experience with either?
