Xeney - road or mtn bike?

I use Look on the road and Eggbeaters on the dirt. I find them both easy. I used to have Ritcheys, but the Eggbeaters are much easier. Eggbeaters have 4 sides so higher chance of hitting the pedal right. Also, have you checked to be sure your shoe sole isn't in the way of clipping in?

Do you have a trainer you can use to practice?
