nowheels,

Were yours maladjusted? I have all faith that they will hold on a downhill with the fixie. So far I'm still amazed that more people don't talk about them. After I twist in they pull down nice and tight...tighter than my mountain bike shoes in clips. Strange. I also enjoy the flexibility of being able to wear whatever footwear I want. Though, for maximum efficiency you want to use the shoes you fit them with but they still work pretty well with my other shoes.
