Ok me again. Recently bought straps (diagonal restraps) and struggling slightly to make the skids happen - feels like they take a little longer to engage than the SPDs I used to have because of the slight give in the straps (they're tight as long as I keep my foot 'twisted' but going into a skid untwists the binding slightly), so all my force is going into the pedal at a later point than is ideal. Is this normal/is the answer to just start pulling up earlier?
