I have also had a new pedal not stay engaged. I never had this problem with the older cleats and am afraid the new manufacturing may not be as well done. Have you had any problems with the new cleats?

- I am thinking about the Brim or Garmin pedal power meters that I hope will become available for Speedplay Pedals soon. I really like free float and have no desire to go back to the Look/Shimano pedal design.

I had issue #1 , and found out that Bebop had a bad run of cleats. I contacted Erik at VP/Bepop and he sent me a set of cleats under warranty, he also sold me a set from his stock. Erik's phone number is 805-253-2253 and his email is erik@vpcomponents.com

I cannot help with issue #2 . My daughter is however using the power meter system that replaces the crankarm on a crankset designed for a single.
