Hi Bicyclulz -- I use Speedplay Zero's titanium and love them like crazy. Won't try anything else.

I DO recall that when I first got them and for the first maybe 10-15 clip-ins they were pretty stiff and I would have a little problem. I think it's because they are so new. It's like a breaking-in period. I found that I really had to punch into them at first and put my weight into it. Rest assured that they will get easier to get into eventually, if you have the patience. After that, smooth sailing.

I do like the fact that they are double-sided. Clipping in is super-duper quick, which is handy when starting from stop lights or start lines, both. The fact that you have some play in side to side movement is nice too, especially on long rides when you may be getting a little fatigued. Getting out of them is easy -- just a solid flick outwards with your heel and you're good. Corner clearance is great too.

They're just awesome pedals, but pedals can be one of those things that is relative to each person -- you either like them or you don't. The biggest complaint I hear about these is the part you're experiencing, though.

Good luck & hope this helps,
Kim
