I have a Giant XTC-0 that came with M505 clipless pedals. I never really got into serious off road with it but there is a trail near where I moved that is too rough for a road bike so I'm getting this bike setup for some rides. I have difficulties with the pedals that came with this bike. My road pedals (105s) I can get into in a second, The M505s take a lot of time and effort to get into, which seems counter intuitive for mountain bike pedals. I would think something that could get into real fast and easy like the road pedals would be more appropriate. I don't know weather the M505s are just crappy pedals or the design itself isn't very good. I'd like some suggestions on what to look into.

Thanks
