I have the same pedals, which i actually like a lot. A lot of people have dissed them, but I like them. I got them for my road bike when I was going on a summer long tour (6000 miles) because I wanted to wear mtn shoes (instead of destroying my $300 carbon sole road shoes). I had a lot of trouble at first with the tension settings. so def check those again. It took a week or two of fiddling to get them equal and to wear I wanted them. And I got the cleats that let you release in any direction, which makes it easier to get out of them too. They do tend to get cloged with mud if you are mtn biking, so be carefula bout that. I'm not hard core into mtn biking, and so that hasn't been an issue for me yet. good luck though!
