SPD (original version) is what I do most of my riding on, and I've never
pulled out. It seems the steel on steel lasts and lasts. About the
only maintenance I seem to need is checking the bolts of cleat-to-shoe,
and an occasional dab of lube on the cleat/pedal interface for smooth
entry/release. What do you SPD users think (especially the MTB folks
that _reall_y use these things to the max!)?
