  1. @endurbro – Thanks for the question!

    There are two types of cleat spacers/shims that come in the box with the HT X2 pedals. There are thin metal shims, and slightly thicker plastic shims. I can’t quite remember exactly what configuration I setup the AM9 shoes with, but I definitely had the thin metal shim, and possibly the plastic shim too.

    While the shoes and cleats were new, I also removed the pins to begin with to limit interference. As everything settled in though, I added the pins to increase traction.

    Try experimenting with those shims and the pin setup, and you should be able to get the clearance you need.

    ST Wil.

  2. Can someone explain to me why I find it significantly harder to disengage on the 8* cleats then on the 4* cleats, if release angle are supposed to be the same 13* ?
