No I dont think anything is colliding with the pedal. I just had another read of the instructions and it does say The unique patented Quattro design eliminates the need for spring tension adjustment. Retention is not dependent on spring tension. Clipping in and out will become easier after the cleats break in.

Oooh lets hope so - I got these because my other pedals had no float and I was told that with the sort of pain I suffer in my knee up to about 6 degrees of float should help. This is what the Quattros have but it wont be any good for my knee if I need king kong quads to get them to clip in.

Thanks for the help - I will keep clipping in and out while Im sitting inside as well and hope that this speeds up the break in period.
