It does remind me, though, of one time I had one of those "Cycling God" days. You know, when your fitness just seems WAY higher than normal for you, and every time you ask your legs for more power, they comply? I passed a number of cyclists near the bottom of a ~ 1 mile, 3% gradient, then we all got stopped at the 3 stop lights on that segment. Each time they all took off first because I can't clip in with Keos like I can with Deltas, and each time I caught and dropped them easily. At the last light, some guy on an old Kestrel said, "It's nice when the bike does it for you", which I only later realized meant he thought I was riding an e-bike.
Nope. Just an exceptional day.
I have but don’t use Keos after being a devoted Look Delta customer for years. Both pairs, one carbon, one standard, creaked when putting down the power - even when disassembled and relubed. Drove me nukin futz. The other issue is what you mentioned, clipping in. Doing some research, a guy suggested shimming the front of the cleat bolt with a washer or two to provide more clearance (Clarence) and that worked a treat. All the suggestions to stop the creaking were temporary and gave up and moved to Shimano and lived happily ever after. My two sets of Keos, like new, are looking for a new home - best for less anal people or the hearing impaired.
