scubamom - when the zeroes are new they're very hard to clip into

pedalwench - true, from personal experience. one time i thought i'd do DH a favor before the Tour de Scottsdale and grease up his X cleats like i do on my Zeroes. before the ride, he went to the portapotty which was in a gravel area and when the race finally started he couldn't clip in - for the whole 70+ miles!!! i also had put his front wheel on after getting the bikes out of the SUV and i inadvertantly put it on backwards so he didn't have a speedometer either. and he still loves me . . . .
