How do you keep braking them hippy? I've only ever had one c ring come out and stay clipped into the pedal and that was on a pair of cleats where part of the metal plate had cracked off and were well past their sell by date.
I have a love hate relationship with them.
Love the pedals themselves, how easy they are to adjust, the fact that you replace most parts (its not cheap though) and how long the cleats last if you look after them (usually 10,000k) .
Hate: maintenance, fragile cleats, stupid design which means you walk on the screw heads, need to carry cleat covers at all times (how slippy are the cleats at first?!), inability to use with toe straps at the track, expense, and the fact that every time I need to put new cleats on I have use a bloody dremel to file a slot into the old screw heads.
