No, you dont need an assistant to unclip you from the EXA. It just takes some pratice to reach down and flip that lever. I just clip in to both at the rail/pillbox, then when you are done, unclip one and just roll with one foot. Then just roll to a stop and take out the other foot. Easy

As for #2, I know several folks are still running the old dura ace 7400 with double toe straps.

Thanks, everyone, for the great info on track pedals. I still need to cut through the fog a bit on two questions:

1) For the MKS EXA pedals--can you easily clip in and out by yourself, using that manual locking mechanism, or do you REALLY need an assistant to do the work for you? (I'm leary of a late K-man-style April Fool joke here...)

2) For the old-school slotted cleat/strap method: Does it actually work well for sprinters compared to clipless methods? Some people have fondly written about how they STARTED at Alpenrose that way--but does anyone STILL use that method, and willingly?

Thanks,

Mike
