Today I encountered the dreaded rotating cleat syndrome when trying to unclip, i.e. I couldn't! When I checked, both cleat screws (sorry, wrong terminology in the title ) were barely hand tight, so I've wound them in somewhat, and also tightened my right's shoes' cleat screws as well.
I managed to unclip the other side and stay upright, but if truth be known, now I've tightened them, they've been 'iffy' and unclipping for a while now, I was just ignoring it.
So, probably good practice to give 'em a check once a month, might just save you from an embarrassing spill!
p.s. purely for reference, these are Shimano SPD cleats on Specialised shoes.
