Well, the clipless thing is generally going well apart from my minor stationary topple. However, on the first 15 miles I got a sore foot, on the second 15 miles I got a sore a knee. I then fiddled about with the cleats and on the next 30 miler I only had a minor twinge above my knee and still some foot pain. After a bit more fiddling, I did 42 miles today, the knee problem (touch wood) appears to have disappeared - although I wasn't pushing very hard, so that probably helped -, but I'm still getting some pain on the outside of my right foot. For some reason, I have not had any problems with the left leg.
The pain is not too bad and not constant, but still rather annoying and I would prefer to get rid of it, especially as I'm off on holiday tomorrow and then planning my first 100 miler the weekend I get back. Does anybody else get this? Don't think there is any adjustment that I haven't tried with the cleats and I don't think it's the shoes, as I had them before I got the spd's. Also, they seem really stiff (at least if the fact they are really hard to walk in is anything to go by...)
Any suggestions???
