SPD unlock too easy

hi all

I tried to grease my spd's spring but accidently got some lubricant on my spds. now they unlock too easily. After cleaning the pedals and cleats multiple times I tried new cleats (same). Is something wrong with the pedals themselves or is there just some lubricant left? (does not feel like it)
Any tips on how to get rid of it?

Obvious point: are the adjusters set tight enough? Lubricating the springs will free up the release mechanism making it easier (and, importantly, more predictable) to unclip.

Clockwise

Your legs are too strong, ride less until your muscles fade and you find the spds harder to unclip from to your desired level.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
