Creaky shoe!
Postby JessicaAlba » Wed Nov 28, 2012 2:53 pm
The left one has recently taken to creaking like an old leather chair whenever I put power through it. Seems ok when pedalling steadily, but if I get into it, the creaking is very loud and distracting.
Any experiences on this?

me too...hannos wrote:I experienced similar once. Turns out the creaking was caused by rubbing of the cleat and pedal. a clean and a lube and it stopped
I use the one pair of MTB Shoes and use MTB clip in pedals (Shimano SPD) on all of my bikes.

Scrub the bindings, apply some light lube to the springs and a whiff more to the contact points of the pedal and you should be right.

That is with 2 different pairs of shimanos, and 2 different sets of shimano spd pedals...
Dunno what I'm doing wrong.

With regards to lubing up, which surfaces will I lube? I'd rather not a grease covered pedal when trying to clip in, not to mention collecting dust and dirt and becoming even noisier...

I had a fellow rider who was sure his pedal was stuffed as it made a moaning sound while he was pedalling.
Turned out his head set was lose, and the pressure he placed on the bars was causing it.

I have some Teflon lube, would that be an option?
