it's easy for the covers to come off and lose them.

I have been using covers on my curretn set of celats (this summer) religiously, as in I never ride without them, not even on my commute, and I have yet to have any hint of them coming off, although I can imagine if you were wlaking on rough terrain it would be possible. The covers are a lot cheaper to replace than cleats, however.

ALso, I used to have this probelm with my SPD cleats (which I still use on my mountain bike) and although I solved it with loc-tite, I was told by a more experienced rider that the problem was occassioned by bad form menaing I was rolling my feet side to side. I don't know if this is true, but it is a thought.

One of the things I like about speedplays, btw, is that they encourage good forma nd efficient pedalling..
