I understand Speedplays have a break in period.. I'm a habitual right foot unclipper. My right is definitely easier to clip into than my left, which gets less action. Do watch out - if you have small feet like me, your cleats can actually be a bit un-level. When I first had the sp's installed I had a terrible time clipping in, then couldn't stay clipped in... I thought for a while that I wasn't going to be able to use the pedals (even a light pull up would pop my foot out), until I figured out that the person who'd done my cleat set up had used the wrong shim set for my very small feet. Once I had the proper shims in there and the cleats were sitting flat, no more problems. I like that there is a very positive cleat lock- no up/down movement at all. I still have some float, but may dial that out - I think I can with Zeros.
