After I put my clears on the correct way (right shoe wrong direction l, I know I knew 😂) after i made your adjustment clipping in is a brezze. Thank you.

best vid for the cleats. great job

Wow that is crazy. Just got a pair, got one shoe in , cant get it out again, the other shoe wont even go in. In contrast , just had to turn a screw for my shimano SPD cleets.

My wife had the same problem. Your video made all the difference. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. Somehow it worked

excellent !

Thank you so much! I was going crazy trying to work out what else can I adjust to make clipping in easier. CHAMPION!!

i had the problem that your wife had. followed your steps and now i can clip in and out so easily! THANKS!

Awesome! That worked, i didn't have to spread the clip very much at all, just enough to make it not squeeze the plate it sits in.

life saver!! thank you so much for these instructions. i was just about to buy the easy tension cleats and now i don’t have to.

It works thank you

Thanks for the idea. Though, my issue is the opposite. I have the wahoo version with the black cover on one shoe and I purchased another cleat which came in gray. Little did I know that the gray has an easier release. I prefer the black which is harder to get out of. I don't want my foot coming out during sprints ya know.

Kristopher, thank you for the video. I did exactly what you’d suggested and it worked perfectly. As my wife said, “I’m amazed that you’d ever tighten the adjuster screws too tightly”. I love her sarcasm…

Wow, thank you so much. Nobody talks about how difficult these are to break-in for lighter female riders. I've done everything: applied dry lube, loosened the spring screws, checked for flatness, loosened the heel in/out adjustments.... and even with all my weight plus a down kick, I am only able to clip them in 10% of the time. Going to try this next....

What you advised doing is not called for in any Speedplay guidance. I would suggest not modifying that cleat spring in any way. Typically using a dry film lubricant is what will help this, or going to the light action version of the pedal system. It’s more likely though that you chose the wrong front and or rear base wedges and the base is not resting totally flat when tightened down against the shoe. This causes the rest of the stack to bend when assembled and will cause difficulty clipping in and out.

and this highlights the design flaw of speedplay brilliantly. the horseshoe spring tension cannot be finely modulated, which makes the cleats unpredictable for novice and lighter female riders, and short lasting.

There's a lot easier method. It's called "Pedal & Cleat Dry Film Lubricant" by Finish Line. Just spray some on any cleat and pedal combination, allow it to dry and be amazed. I'm surprised cleat lube is such an unknown product among cyclists.

thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow thanks for sharing!!!

I just bought some zero aero. can't clip in. will try this

Thank you!! My wife was nagging me too, but it's fixed now.

Just completed the adjustment. Works a treat, many thinks.

I am so glad I found this. Just fitted speedplays and I could barely clip in. Had to force all my weight down on one pedal and wiggle then repeat the other side. Why the hell do they have to be that hard? I am light weight but even if you're a brute surely you don't need it to be that difficult?

Wow, I am n oh t knocking what you did bbn ut man that seems like a lot of steps.

Awesome! Glad it worked out

what happened with lubing? 😁😁

Just fitted these pedals and could not clip in at all. Tried your trick and now can clip in with ease. As easy as the spd-sl set up I had before. Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the advice! Were you able to clip the pedals in by hand once you made the adjustment? As mine are tight, but I was putting it down to not “broken in” yet Cheers 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nicely done!!!

Incredibly talented.

Great video, Kris!

Alyx is so inspiring and beautiful. I love that she did not make this video about her, but instead, showed her true passion for inspiring and helping others.
