New pedal help

[Royalrider]

Thanks all for your input to the original question. Sorry didn't come back sooner but have been away on hols for a few days. A screwdriver and a bit of force did the trick. I doubt I will ever use the pedals as flats or I might as well have stayed with the originals. Some interesting comments regarding the reflectors and the law.

yes - they need a fair bit of force; if you ever clipped on a shoe onto a pedal then try to remove the shoe with you hands rather than using your leg, you will find it is quite an effort (not prizes on how I know that).

I have some of these on my pedals when I picked them up too... they were a right bugger to get off.

I found that the best way was to put the pedal o the floor, get some nice sturdy shoes/boots, tand on the plastic bit and twist your foot round as if you're stubbing out a ciggy.

came off a treat for me!

Loosen off the tension on the cleat retaining part, until you get used to clipping in and out.

And don't forget to loosen it off on both sides!
