Creaking pedals/cleats
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. |

So under pressure. Dust/grit on the nylon face. Shoot dry silicon spray periodically, just like nylon drawer slides. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I got squeaky cleats after the latest bike wash on Saturday. The Sunday ride was a squeak fest. I was embarrassed around other cyclists. -- Jay Beattie. |

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

As Jay notes, if you have ArmorAll handy that works just as well, in the same way. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

All was quiet on the ride in this morning but there weren't any hills to test on. I did a few wind sprints to let people know I was nutty and the cleats were quiet. |

I cleaned mine after they started to make noise. Then I tried silicon spray and that didn't do much for long. Then I cleaned again and applied a smear of my *magic* chain wax/oil lube to the top surface of the toe end of the cleat and the problem is non existent. YMMV. -- JS |
