Noisy shoes
Postby im_no_pro » Mon Oct 14, 2013 9:57 pm
I'm running Speedplay cleats with the adaptor plate for 3 bolt SPD-SL. As per the pic below, these shoes also have the ability to run another (2 bolt) mount system, im guessing SPD or Time. Problem is, the threaded plates for the bolts on the 2 bolt system move up and down the channels, and therefore rattle loud enough that I can hear it while riding. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the speedplay cleat with no luck. For some reason, its only one shoe that does it. Can someone help me out before I throw out a brand new pair of shoes in frustration

So that's what the noise is?? My SIDI shoes have been driving me mad with that rattling noise!familyguy wrote:Remove inner soles. Put tape of choice over plates. Replace inner soles. You may even be able to remove the plates (I could in my shimano MTB shoes).

BTW my right hand only Mavic MTB shoes (SPDs) squeak as they rub on the cheap SPD pedals on my commuter, drives me insane, they do it also on my better pedals just not as much.
Solution- Grease slathered over the pedals- yes the elegant solution.

That was my next option if I couldnt find a better way courtesy of the shed. Would prefer to avoid glue but I think I might have a tube of silicon around somewhere.CXCommuter wrote:Would a bit of silicon or glue stope them rattling if you cannot access them and never intending to use these bolts?

This will work, use hot melt if available. Easy to place accurately and will hold them nicely. Yes, you will have to pull the speedplay cleats to do it.im_no_pro wrote:That was my next option if I couldnt find a better way courtesy of the shed.

Yes indeed - click click click click click when I'm walking to the bike.im_no_pro wrote:Infuriating, isnt it!
I was getting rather tired of those SIDI shoes as well. Expensive junk with the most infuriating rotary ratchet system to tighten them. In any kind of bad weather, the ratchets would get jammed - unless you want to wear covers over them. Let's just say when they are up for replacement, they will NOT be on the shopping list.

Good idea, pretty sure GLW has hot melt in the scrapbooking kit somewhere, might give that a rip tonight.Mulger bill wrote:This will work, use hot melt if available.

Not sure, I still have the box + paperwork so will have a look. Tube of black silicon did the job though, 135km around the bay course completed with no rattlesProCelebrityGolf wrote:Years ago the instruction manual that came with shimano shoes gave you directions regarding how to use a stanley knife to cut the cardboard sole of the shoe to access this metal plate if you were using other clipless systems - it sounds like this doesn't happen anymore (?)
