ok, well I rode for about 90 minutes today, I was on a bike path so not a lot of unclipping. I also spent time time perusing the Speedplay website yesterday and the FAQ said something that really helped me and now, Im feeling kinda stupidIt said to unclip at the bottom of pedaling, when your leg is fully extended. This really helped a LOT.
tygab, since you asked about the LA's , I am almost wishing I had gotten the Zeros after reading the site, becasue the LA's have 15% of float and it is NOT adjustable. I feel like it is almost too much, I wish I could dial it down a touch. Of course I when I got the pedals this is what the LBS reccomended to me, and I trust them. They we're the only shop in town (I went to 4) that would even let me test ride a road bike.Though, I probably would have not wanted to spend the extra $ for the Zeros had they offered them to me. Now after some experience I know better, but hey, thats what this is all about. I think less float might make it easier to unclip, but I think that will just come with practice. Getting clipped in is super easy, not a problem at all. I love that I dont ever have to look down. Also, I had been unclipping both feet every time I stopped, today I was able to unclip one foot, and keep the other clipped in without crashing! Everytime I tried to do that before, it.... ended in pavement.
