I don't think it's as much as 2mm, but it feels like it when you're mashing
It happened with all my pairs, when brand new (and still now), and with brand new cleats. I hate to sound like a hero, but people who don't have this problem either never pull up hard enough, or just got lucky
Usually when I'm mashing I'm pushing down as hard as I can seated.......
But even during climbing out of the saddle and pulling I don't feel this play and my foot has never false
released, no Premature-E-Clip-U-Lation here....
I think it may be the fact I have never ridden any other brand of pedal so I don't know any better.
Don't think theres any luck to it at all I would assume even my 7800 and 7810 DA pedals have this play I just don't pay any attention to it........
