Yikes Need bigger thigh muscles

[Trekhawk]

Are you using road shoes with no lug pattern? Have you checked the clearance with the sole of your shoe? Once you've clipped in (do this in a trainer unless you're strong enough to do it by hand), take your foot out of your shoe and flip the pedal over. I usually have this problem with new MTB shoes. I've only used Looks on road shoes.

hey SadieKate - thanks for the quick reply. Ok this is where I show my ignorance what is a lug pattern?

Yes I am wearing Road shoes (Sidi Genius) but the Quattros are Road Pedals at least thats what the marketing says.
