Ok, went through 3 different pair of SPD pedals at LBS today and NONE of them would adjust the tension as lightly as my Shimano SPD/Platform pedals. My fitter is quite surprised as he is the one that adjusted my double sided pedals. Perhaps they use a different spring with the set I have on my LHT - I am NOT, however, getting those for Gunnar or Jamis. I did go ahead and had them install a pair of less-expensive SPD pedals on the Jamis - this happened to be the pair easiest to get in/out of - not that it was all that easy

My fitter doesn't know much about Frogs, though one of the mechanics suggested them as easy to get in/out of. I think his concern is that the cleats can't be adjusted up/down or from side to side in the shoe. I tend to "toe-in" and he uses that kind of adjustment on the cleat to get my foot/leg in the right position.

Does anyone have that kind of issue and are able to use Frogs without a problem? I hate to keep buying pedals that may not work for me...I've a few congenital problems remaining with feet and ankles that haven't been corrected and never will be if I've anything to say about it. It looks like Frog cleats are SPD compatible so I wouldn't need new shoes...
