It's true, although whether it's necessary is moot. Doesn't do any harm if you're buying new pedals anyway, as the price is about the same. Keo Classic is 8-12Nm, Keo Sprint and all versions of Keo2Max are 9-15Nm. Keo Easy is fixed at 8Nm. None of them will pull out if you keep your feet straight, but higher tension reduces the chance of an accidental release when you wobble, which can turn a scary moment into a crash.
