Hi,
any chance someone can post a picture of the mod to time ATAC cleats that improves thier release?
Have a new pair of Time ATAC Aliums and have been trying to break them in but am now convinced my left pedal is trying to kill me.
My right pedal is fine, clicks in and out sweet as pie, but my left pedal has a mind of its own. I've seen on a few forums that other people have had the same problem and have ground down certain edges of the cleat to improve the ease of release but all image references for this modification no longer exist.
Can someone please help? I am now suffering from severe damaged pride, not to mention bruised shoulder and hip from a number of 0 mph dismounts that I have experienced in the last week...
ps. There is no difference in set up between left and right cleats, i've doused the pedal in lubricant in case it was just a bit stiff and the sole of my shoe is not in the way... just in case you were wondering if that was the cause ;)
