Look Keo Blade Pedal Bearings Stiff?

Switched from the Keo Classics to the Blade and have noticed the spindle bearings are noticeably stiffer/harder to spin. i.e. my classics also turned vertical when not used making it each to clip in where my blades will stay where ever I put them. Anyone else notice this?

They just have a lot of grease packed in them. You need to ride a thousand miles or so before they loosen up.

Cool thanks

Should make getting into them at transition easier ;0)
