Bottom Line: I've had problems with this pedal as well. Found it easier to unclip by twisting inward rather than outward. I have them set on the weakest grip so I don't crash at 0 mph at lights. Done that twice when I first got the pedals. Performance should require all their executives to road test their products before they go into the stores.

Strengths: Looks and price.Weaknesses: WAAAY to hard to unclip, regardless of experience.Bottom Line: Bought a couple of these for bikes I got for my daughters. First time they've tried clip pedals. They fell often on the first ride. Told them they'll get used to it. Then I tried adjusting them a couple of days later to make it easier. The lowest setting is still WAY too difficult to unclip. I felt really bad afterwords for thinking it was them. I would have fallen if I had used them!

Strengths: Cheap, look decent, float is easy on the knees.Weaknesses: Bearings are weak and won't last long. Cleats tend to wear quickly.Bottom Line: These were my first venture into clipless pedals and yes, I did crash a couple of time at stop lights. I just assumed that was part of the learning curve but maybe these do clip out a bit harder than most. I will be finding out soon as I have 1,400 miles on these and the right pedal is starting to have a bearing go out 'clicking' which drives me nuts. (I weigh 180 lbs. and have some hills in my riding area but if you can't get a full season out of them it doesn't matter how cheap they are....) Not sure yet if I want to go with the Keo or Speedplay but it sounds like either is a better choice than these.

Strengths: They are easily returned.Weaknesses: They resulted in a damaged bike, physical pain and embarrassment.Bottom Line: I bought these before seeing these reviews. They are deathtraps, especially for new clipless riders like myself. I fell twice because I could not get out of the pedals. AVOID!

Strengths: price and styleWeaknesses: Clipping out, red cleat has to much float. Try the black cleat big difference.Bottom Line: I also bought this for the price, and was disapointed on how difficult it was to clip out. I also had to remove my foot from my shoe to clip out the first time, it was easier to turn my heel inwards to clip out. But I also found that if you use the Look black cleat instead of the red one that comes with the pedals, clipping out is a lot easier. The black cleat has little float so disengagement occurs quicker. But I went back to my spd pedals anyway and gave these to my son, and they are working fine for him along with the black cleats. He has ridden over 400 miles with these.
