I mean you practice two hours, try shifting the cleats, and the pedals are all the way to the "easy" release setting. I have Shimano A520s which are SPD and WR40s which are SPD-SL. Does anyone have any ideas what the heck I am doing wrong? I live in a hilly/mountainous area that gets a lot of rain and has heavy traffic...until you get outside of town, thus I am a little worried about getting proficient at clipping in and out before I hit the pavement. Thank you so much.
Don't sweat it.....you'll get to be a natural, very quickly.....one or two falls will see to that.
