Yes, I know how to clip in and out. And I have the cleats set favor easier clip-out on my left foot. Like I said, the issue was the shim. Haven't had a problem since I added that to the cleats.
I added the included shims and it fixed the problem. Now they're easier to clip in and out. Should have figured that out when I needed to put so much pressure on them to get them to clip in. Live and learn.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. My cleats are recessed, so maybe that's an issue.
Hi All, I bought a set of Crank Brothers Mallet 3 pedals an tried them for the first time today. I had an awful time with them. Very difficult to clip in and really hard to clip out. I almost crashed just pedaling…
Not the best shot, but this is my Crossrip 1 with Schwalbe G-One 35s.

Thanks. I'll check out that company.
That's way cool. No pun intended.
I've wondered about insurance in general for my road bike. I have over $7k invested in it. A few weeks ago a pit bull ran into my rear wheel and broke a spoke on a CF wheel. Luckily they were able save the wheel, but…
Thanks again for all the replies. Yes, those conditions I mentioned were exceptions rather that the rule around here. The heavy gravel was a new dump that I'm sure will get pressed into the underlying dirt over time.…

Well, I paid for the tires already, so I'm sort of stuck with them now. Thing is, these are the same tires that come on the new Checkpoint bikes. Those bikes don't have suspension either (apart from IsoSpeed), so in…
The bike trail (converted railbed) is usually solid. I've been able to ride my pure street bikes there many times. It was just a case of recent heavy rains washing the loosest top cover to the low areas. I hit that and…
Thanks for the replies. I'm 6'-3" and 215lbs. The bike is a 60cm model. It can take up to a 38 tire, but the LBS said the 35 tires would fit better on the stock rims, so I went with that. I was pretty impressed with how…
I had the LBS mount Schwalbe G-One 35s on my Crossrip thinking I'd use it for gravel riding. I took it out yesterday for the first time and came across a road that had been newly (less than a week, I'd say) re-gravelled…
Very cool. Looks like a fun trip. I have the same bar end mirrors. Love 'em.
I just replaced the bars on my road bike with carbon bars. My original bars were too wide and since I wanted to replace them anyway, I went CF for the weight savings. But I concur that it hasn't made any noticeable…
I have an odd commute. It's 3 miles from home to the office in the morning, but oddly enough, 15-25 miles from the office to home in the afternoon. Seems the better the weather, the longer the commute home. Funny how…
