The shop should've helped you when you got them. Or if you ordered them hopefully they came with the instructions I gave the link to. Keep them close and try out different release tensions. You might likely find you'll need to adjust it over time as your riding habits change or you become stronger, and so on.

What kind and how much walking are you doing in your riding shoes? No road shoes are going to be comfortable to walk in. Moutain shoes are walkable comfortably, but they're heavier and bulkier and you'll have to get a different pedal. I may be mistaken but I don't think the cleat systems are compatible, the screw holes are different. Plus the mountain shoes have tread on them, they're not flat like the road cleats need to be.

Hi Nev,

I bought the pedals online and didn't pay much attention to the instructions. It wasn't until your post that I realized that these pedals were adjustable and probably needed adjusting.

As far as shoes, currently I only walk in the shoes to my bike which is about 10 feet. I had considered mountain bike shoes because I thought that some day I would start ridding with a club and there would be more walking involved when I reach the finish line. However, I had heard that on long rides, road shoes were more comfortable than mountain. It may not be true, but I just listened to the opinions of people with more experience. Right now I am very happy with the shoes and after I get the pedals adjusted, which will be today, I am sure they will work for me as well.

Thanks for your help,

Bruce
