Updating: rode the Time XC8's yesterday for 17 miles. These were the ones I originally purchased to replace the Frogs. They seemed tight for a few rides so I opted to get the HT's.
Well, the XC have loosened up, and were fairly easy to clip in and out, with the release angle at 10 degrees, it's pretty simple. I will continue to ride these for a while. I didn't realize they needed break in, which my Speedplays never did. So perhaps got the HT's too quickly. Have to check the return policy. Dang..
