it is funny that you say this, I have pair of shimano SPD-SL pedals, the 105 ones, just like the original poster. I haven't found them especially difficult to unclip from. hey are more difficult, obviously, then my old Mountain bike SPDs, but I think this si good thing. I'd much rather have a difficult time unclipping then unclip when I don't want to...I have slammed my nuts into the seat more times then I'd like to think about unclipping on my old mtn pedals...
