I have a curious situation.  I can't seem to get clipless shoes (neither
shimano spd nor keen clipless sandals) to work with my road standard.  Would
the geometry have this great an effect in combination with snapping in?
This is one of the 96 road standards - a 54cm.  In reading Riv Catalog #3
the geo is listed as 73/st and 73/ht (assuming those two angles would be the
source of my problem) those measurements are probably true for my bike as
well.

Here is the rundown:

seat kind of far back.  A definite KBPS situation.
handlebars about an inch below the seat, yet not too aggressive.
clipless for a short ride = ankle tenderness inside of leg, usually one, but
sometimes both legs.
same bike, just pedals switched to road pedals and toe clips, same ride = no
pain.

I think this pain/tenderness is caused by the restriction of motion that
these pedals have - I am somehow repeating the same movement over and over
which leads to an overworked tendon.  My question is: how to a probelm solve
and find a solution?  I want to ride clipless, there really isn't any reason
it shouldn't work with this setup. I rode before with the same pedals and
shoes on other bikes, no probelms.

Would it be the frame?  What else should I check?

I did some testing and the strain happens when my heel is moved outward away
from the bike creating a "pidgeon toed" riding stance.  Could changing the
cleat angle help this out?

Thanks in advance everyone.
Jason
