...you think im joking thats the funny thing.

On the real though I'd say they were the most satisfying upgrade I've made to my bike. I love the fact that they dont auto align my feet on the pedal, I have the freedom to put my feet in whatever position is comfortable. On a really long ride sometimes i just want to push my heels out and stretch my calves for awhile, with spd's or other pedals i couldn't do that. I also really like how easy it is to get in and out of the pedals, my only recommendation would be to get those $10.00 coffee shop caps, i bought a pair and my shoes have way more traction, the cleats don't get messed up and i'm not damaging my local coffee shop's or my wood flooring.
