So, I started on EggBeaters yesterday - well to be more precise Candy C pedals (like an eggbeater but in a shell)
My problem is that my MTB shoes....
.... have these blue rigid things that recess the cleat, u know the stuff, so that u can walk. The problem is that because of the platform on the pedals the cleats don't engage fully, and as they are CrankBrothers Cleats they have a left and right (instead of the SPD front and back). The problem is that right foot disengages at 10degrees, and the left at around 30degrees..... this made for a lot of fun doing failed track stands as my side, arse and knee will tell you!!
Has anyone else had this sort of trouble.... my plan is just to go out and get some normal egg beaters - do u think that will solve the problem? I hope so because it really put me off clipless riding yesterday!
