The system alerted me to this reply. Yeah, it does seem like the opposite, and, no, I haven't tested yet. But will soon, now that the bike season is back. (Got in 100 local XC ski outings!) I'll post...

I'll probably just start relying on that method. I've also been reading that the "cowboy" is the best way and is also less risky. I suppose with every method if one doesn't focus then things can go...

I still plan to test the two ideas. I invested the rare few hours early on in trying them and haven't had time to change my cleats back to the Eggs since. Pedals are easier to change. I plan to see...

I just spoke with a helpful tech person and he suggested a couple things:

Yeah, that's the most reliable method. But then you sometimes have a slip-off, or I've read that sometimes you get accidentally clipped back in then get a surprise.

When I use that method I unclip...

PS: I'm back on my SPD's. Tried em a few times. Whew, my confidence is back, thank heavens. They work great. ...I'm still leery of those stray malfunctions, though. Really leery. I almost got hurt...

Well, rats. The new cleats do the obvious and retain slightly better than the old ones. Whew, I just don't see how people use these for CX. The most reliable and secure retention moment for me with...

As I mentioned a couple times, they're great like 11 times out of 12. It's that twelfth time where the pedal suddenly doesn't let go like it did before and I go splat across the barriers that is a...

Yeah, they're Eggbeater cleats. But, good idea: I'll look at an online pic of the cleats and compare them to mine. I hope it's easy to see where they wear. Maybe my local shop will have them also, to...
