Ive been using Time atac pedals for years,they have more float,better for your knees,and you can turn the Cleats around to give yo either 13 or 17 degree release.You can get a cheap set of chainreaction for £27.

Cheesey, I don't want to confuse the issue but I'm a little puzzled by your reference to "multi-release".
Shimano make two different types of SPD cleats, single-release and multi-release (multi-release cleats have a large "M" stamped into them).
Single release cleats will ONLY release by twisitng your heel outwards (or inwards), whereas the mulit-release version will disengage if you give a good yank in virtually any direction (as I once found out to my cost in mid-air at Grizedale, but that's another story...)
Shimano recommend the multi-release version for beginners and recreational users.
Is this what you mean?0 -
YEs Dave thats exactly what I mean - even though I have been cycling for over 20 years I have only just converted to clipless (for my racebike) only
I have shimano spuds that are great but as you mention I want a set that I can get my foot out of pretty much in any direction!!
Have not had a ny comedy falls but nearly have!
What I didn't know and is very interesting is that it's 'the cleat' thats multi release
Thats what I need to buy then - rather than new spuds!0 -
Kercchhinng!!! Result!0
