I recently added clipless Crank Bros Candy C Atb Pedals to my road bike.

I didn't get the hoped-for big feeling of more power and speed with these things. I wonder if anyone can give me some hints as to how to 'learn' to use them to better advantage? Should I be feeling the 'up-pull' with my toes or heels more? Should my pelvis tilt a little a each pump of the pedals to get the up-pull? Is everyone like me, have to LEARN to use the blamed things? If so, how long should it take to start getting some benefit from the pedals?

I rode previous toe-cage pedals (without their straps) all summer. The left cage broke off and I rode without it. But I think I got used to pulling a little up with my right pedal over the summer and I find it easier to do this now with the clipless too. This is what makes me think I have to LEARN to use these things.
