replaced the cleats before i considered new pedals. while i was home before saudi i swapped out to fresh cleats both the no float and normal float versions and d the same problem. tension set to full. i followed all the instgructions in the manualfor care
i really think they are just worn out from daily use rain or shine
thats why if there is something better that will last longer with repetitive use every day ill go with that
and for what is better, just looking for drability. i use carbon shoes so dont need a platform, i am just looking for something that will last for a longer time. i mean thes pedals have been thorough multiple accidents, a few crashes, and rain and snow so im sure it didnt help

It is possible to unclip SPD-SLs if the spring is set to "soft" or the cleat's lip is worn.
It is virtually impossible to unclip using Speedplay...unless you have sloppy form. But, Speedplay systems require more maintenance as the cleats wear out very quickly from walking on cement. Replacement cleats are $40.
One can physically pull out of ATAC/Eggbeater style pedals with brute force...even with fresh cleats. Even more likely with worn cleats.
I've used
Speedplay Zeros
Speedplay Frogs
Shimano
- SPD
- SPD-R
- SPD-SL
- DX (SPD)
TIME ATAC
LOOK (the older ones)
and a few others that I can't recall.
