Time Impact Pedals

[Ben]

Wondering if anyone using these pedals can clarify a couple things for
me:

As I understand it, you can set the cleats to allow either a 13 degree or a 17 degree release angle.
My left foot likes to point slightly 'toe in' so following time's instructions, I set the cleats up
with the 17 degree release angle toward the outside of my foot. However, the release angle didn't
seem too wide so for giggles I switched the cleats around to have the 13 degree angle toward the
outside of the shoe. I can't tell the difference! (I am also trying to limit the amount my left heel
can wander inward so I'd really like to make sure that I have the cleats seat up with most of the
float to the outside - hope this makes sense).

Am I missing something or is a 5 degree difference too small to notice?

Thanks for reading.

No ! The difference between 13 and 17 is, for me, significant. The angle is towards outside, i.e.
that towards the interior, it is 13. But, according to the position of the foot on the pedal, it is
certain that part of the play can be taken! In this case, it is preferable to put at 17, to avoid
inopportune barings.
