...OH WAIT A MINUTE.......now that I am awake and reading this.....

I have red CLEATS.
I have the BLACK pedals.

I went from red to black pedals, not cleats.
Red cleats...little bit of float good for the knees....never pulled out...ever.

Sorry for the earlier bogus info....because I know your entire cycling future really depends on what advice I give you here at BF.
