Lubricating Look Keo Classics
My left pedal is starting to chirp a little bit. What's the proper lubrication for these?
Much appreciated. Mike |

Silicone furniture polish, if you mean for the cleat mechanism.

You can remove the spindle/bearing assembly, rinse clean with solvent then grease bearings and re install into the clean pedal body. Trying to drip lubricant into a contaminated bearing may more likely just flow more dirt inside. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

You really need to get them apart and have a good look/clean/reassemble. |

SunTour's Grease Guard system seemed like a good idea, but AFAIK it died with the original SunTour company. Well, if wax works so well keeping dirt out of a bicycle chain, it should work equally well on pedals. Just a thought as I've never tried wax on pedals. Perhaps installing grease (Zerk) fittings on pedals and other bicycle parts that are badly sealed and/or require routine lubrication: http://oasisdesign.net/transport/bikes/greasefittings.htm I'm tempted to spend the $5.00 on the how-to article. However, it goes against my quest for a zero maintenance bicycle. (15 mins later...) I couldn't resist and bought the article. 8 pages. I think it's worth the price. Lots of little details that I probably would have fumbled with doing my usual learn by destroying(tm). For pedals, there are some decisions to be made, but it looks easy enough. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

I've heard people claim that the nonslip cleats cause squeaking. Maybe I'll try the bare ones. -- duane |
