I'd be interested in an after-action report. I just switched shoes (Sidi Bullets to Bontrager road shoes) and pedals (M520s to 105 SPD-SLs) but have relegated the new stuff to my indoor trainer for now. I like the feel of the new pedals but they feel harder to click out, and I have the tension set all the way down.

I made the move because of hotfoot. I think it'll work, but I'm a bit skeered.
