I never had problems with clipless when I road on the dirt in the Utah mountains. A picture of someone on the ground does not tell me that clipless is a problem. So lets get on with this. Does anybody out there use the lube for the cleats and pedal contact area. I would like to know if it really improves the durability of the pedal and cleat.
I don't know if any pedal/shoe combo is fool-proof. Sometimes it just takes some experience (& perhaps a fall or two) to get used to whatever type. In the old days the rubber pedals at least didn't gouge the shin if they slipped.
Lubing cleat/binding is new to me but apparently a lot of folks favor it at least for ease of unclipping.
