I already tired giving it some tightening. Now it feels awkard. Sound is good, but it feels like I have narrower float angle. I know I can replace the cleat, but it took me 2 months and (as I said before) clip-out happens at oddest / scariest time. My old ATAC is bulky, but doesn't seem to have that problem.

It could be my SPD pedals that I use new Shimano style with solid rear locking plate. I know Ritchey uses DSR (rear plate is separated into two). May be they hold better.

P.S. I am worried about yanking at the cleats. I am not really interested in how long distance you can go. I mean sure I can go 5000 miles if I never have to clip out, but I have to slow down or stop. And sometimes, I only have time to lock up my pedals.
