Look Keo 2 Max with grey cleats. What's the trick to stop
them from creaking? I switched from the grip cleats to the
plain ones with the white silicon ridges and the creaking
stopped for a 1000km or so. But now it's back.

Mostly happens climbing or with a head wind. So under
pressure.


Dust/grit on the nylon face. Shoot dry silicon spray
periodically, just like nylon drawer slides.


And I put Armor-All on the cleat. I got squeaky cleats after the latest bike wash on Saturday. The Sunday ride was a squeak fest. I was embarrassed around other cyclists.

Armor-All? Isn't that like waxing your dancing shoes? But yeah the
noise was driving me crazy so maybe worth a try.
