Soaking them in Finish Line helped. 80 clip/unclip cycles per side now. I can actually make it through 10 cycles now without breaking a sweat.
I think these may be possible to ride on. I'm guessing at 200 cycles they might be almost usable in ordinary riding conditions but my ankles are sore from executing the trademark Speedplay twist-and-press clip-in motion, so not today. The float needs to be dialed back a ton because I basically have to kick myself in the back of the head to get them to disengage. And then I need to buy a grease gun because they self destruct if you don't re-grease the spindles every 2000 miles or if the ambient humidity ever goes over 45% or if you have ever dripped sweat in their general direction.
Pic unrelated.
