I’m really pretty peeved by your post, you basically call me a liar.

I rode them for a year. Trust me, I put 400 rocky miles on them. They were broken in. I could pull my shoes out of the clips on uphills I was push/pulling, and on more than one time I had them cause me a problem in rocks releasing my clips when trying to traverse them by separating the X of the pedal.

This is a fact. If you ride mud, they are great, if you ride rocky/techy areas, and pull hard on the pedals when your pedaling, they will fail you.

I really wanted to like them.

If you like them, thats great, but quit making up stories.

BTW, I never had them seize, thats just poor maint.
