| Re: Clipless pedal release difficulties Not sure if I am reading this wrong, but it sounds to me, everything is working as it should. The only way to get out of clips is to twist you heal out to release. Maybe I am reading this wrong.

| Re: Clipless pedal release difficulties I agree with the previous posts, and would add that the more tense and nervous you become, the harder it is to release. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to think about what you're doing as you try to release! As someone else said, check that you have the right cleats for your pedals. Also, it's not unknown for shoe soles to foul the pedal body. Usually you'd notice this on engaging the cleat with the pedal - it will be hard to lock in. You can check whether this is a problem by locking the shoe to the pedal without having your foot in the shoe (if you see what I mean!). It may be possible to trim the sole with a sharp knife if this proves to be an issue. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
