I think the Aliums are shit, they've gone downhill, i don't know if they've changed manufacturer or are just cutting more corners, but i've been destroying them, in months or weeks. The springs always seem to go.
I only ride the old school a.t.a.c pedals now
they are miles better!
I used to run the ROCs and they were much better (I have gone back to them despite one side having snapped).
The Aliums are awfull, they went loose so quickly, it feels as though my foot is going to slide off the side of the left one and they inspire no confidence when going down hill. I have gone through 3 sets of cleats with no disernable difference. Sarah's ones are a year older than my ones and are great. They must have chainged something because as you said, they are now shit.
