I got the Candy's about 1 1/2 months ago for my Litespeed. I love them. When I first put them on my other bike, to try them out, they were very stiff to clip into and out of but I had the bike in the trainer and just clipped in and out of them about 20 times and my husband put a little grease on them and they loosened right up. I hadn't ridden clipless in about 3 years. I find them easy to get in and out of and I really like the platform because if I am not able to clip in on the first try I can still continue to pedal until I can get clipped in. Once my husband and I get our tandem (in February I hope) and get use to it (never ridden one before) I will be putting another pair of Candy's on that bike. My husband wil probably stick to his Coombe's since he likes them.
