I spend probably too much time mounting my cleats. This is not causing me pain, it may just be my OCD about my pedal stroke. Most of us learned by just doing and maybe trying to mimic pros form the TdF. I find it too easy to move my foot on the horizontal plane. I do know about the different cleat mounting on Crank Bros. Everyone seems to have a 6° float, so maybe it is all in my head and I am just being sloppy, but I cannot believe that all cleat systems are 'about the same'. Otherwise, methinks there would not be debate over which system is best and why roadies prefer road systems.
