I will try to loose the screws as you have said, to make the springs play easily. This may stop the need for regular lubricating. Thanks!
It sounds as if you have some installation issues. If you contact Speedplay they can help you with any parts you may need, like longer screws or wedges (that go under the front and back of the cleats). Are you using an adaptor kit that came with you shoes? Is it possible that you have the wrong kit?
