well after 13 months of great cycling with the T3 and so many people telling me to go clipless or clipin as some people say I have done it at last well sort of! fitted pedals to T3 sunday evening and put the cleats on my new road shoes,sat on the bike with O/H very close by, I clipped in ok but find my right foot is easier to unclip than my left, I have checked the settings on the pedals and they are the same,so I went down my road slowly and tried to unclip but was not quick enough and went down like a falling tree! with 2 people walking past but hay ho im ok and most of all the T3 is ok. the T3 went back in the shed and is still there! im thinking of putting the pedals on my hybrid and getting use to them for a week or so as im not bothered if it gets damaged. I find my right foot comes out much easier than my left, but then I'm right footed so I figure to be expected. I just go with it and unclip my right foot when coming to a stop, it might be the "wrong side" (closer to the traffic) but I'd rather be unclipped than falling over all the time⦠im right footed but have always put my left foot down first,but think I will be putting my right foot down first from now on, I agree with what your saying I would rather be unclipped than keep falling over like a tree being cut down with a chain saw

Sorry to hear that Martin, have you slackened the springs on the pedals. I found it useful to slacken them off to about as far as they go and then start tightening them up bit by bit as you get used to them. thanks john i guess it was always going to happen at some point i have the pedals at the easy/starter point and going to try again and hopefully when we meet again for coffee and cake i will be ok fingers crossed
