  • How come not the easy cleats? I've always just bought whatever I could find cheapest and just assumed all the cleats would wear down as fast.

    I've had old school yellow atacs on my work bike for years and never had any issues, have always been bomber. Bought a brand new pair of new atacs and they irreparably broke on the first day of use so I definitely second the new atacs being shit.

  • The easy cleats unclip with less twisting of the foot. On a brakeless bike I found them too unpredictable. They're kind of the 'beginner' cleat, which is why they provide them with the entry level pedals and not the higher end ones. If you compare the two the easy cleats are basically like an already slightly worn 13/17 cleat. Hence why they unclip sooner.
