since this is a temporary switch, you could loosen the 4 screws one click so that the metal plate is not so tight. that will allow you to unclip quite a bit easier. and/or squirt some graphite lube into the cleats. just do a couple test runs near grass to test it before you go out on a ride.
Interesting idea! But I've always found there's a balancing act between overtight cleats, which are hard to clip in and out of, and too loose cleats which are sloppy. So I think I have my zero cleats set right, don't want them any looser. And I'm still hoping that the LIght Action might be easier to clip in and out of.
Talked to my local Performance Bike shop today and they'll let me try out the LA's. So then I'll know whether it's really worth spending the money to make the switch.
