Yeah riding fixed for the first time in years and on a 700c instead of a bmx was crazy, spd with it probably isn't best to learn either but I like my spds. Couldn't get my footing right for stopping as mentioned above so I was slowing but it wasn't very effective and a long ride would probably have done my knees in too. The ebay seller for my 19t hasn't posted it yet so might not even be by the weekend.
The thing with my foot feeling like the cleats are being yanked on I need to put more weight on my back foot or what? Seen mention of "squeezing knees" and really can't tell what I should be looking to feel in my legs/feet as I stop.
