I just got my clipless pedals and shoes a couple of days ago. Now I adjusted the cleat, but there are two problems:
1) The holes in the shoes and cleat doesn't allow the cleat to be angled toward the inside of the shoe (from bottom view). Meaning when I'm riding, my toes want to point away from the bike more than is allowed. The float only allows it to point closer to the bike.
2) I kept looking at the cleats, and they were angled further in the wrong directions than I wanted. I found out that once I adjusted them, rode around the block, and twisted my foot out, the cleat actually moved. I had that baby tightened in REALLY tight, but the cleat still moved. In the OPPOSITE direction I want it to.
Anyone know what I can do about this? (My shoes and pedals are from www.performancebike.com, they are the Elan Forte shoes and forte classic pedals)
I suspect that the cleats and shoes are for a mountain bike. The very same thing happened to me last week! The stinking floats allow the the cleat to move when you clip off the pedal. I took the floats off and mounted the cleat directly onto the shoe without the the floats. Now all I have to do is practice getting clipped on. I have no problems with my road shoes and cleats.
