One thing. Make sure you tighten the bolts on the cleats real good. If you don't, you might be in for an unpleasant surprise at the next stoplight. Don't ask me how I know

Blue Loctite on cleat bolts is always a good idea.
And if clipping in or out ever starts to feel mushy or otherwise different, check those bolts....
