Looking for pedal advice

[malaholic]

Do you find it really takes a lot of force/torsion to clip in & out, and that is for sure what is hurting your knee & hip? Or is it riding itself that hurts, indicating maybe your cleats just aren't aligned properly (assuming saddle height/position/etc stayed the same when you switched to clipless)?

If it's the definitely the clipping in & out, on my Look Keo pedals there's a place where the spring can be wound tighter or looser using a small allen wrench. I keep mine on the looser end for easier entry & exit. Do your Time pedals have any similar adjustments? If so you could try loosening the tension to see if it helps, and if it doesn't I'm sure that others here will have excellent suggestions for other types of pedals you could try.
