Clicking SPD pedal :o(
Postby MattyK » Fri Feb 15, 2013 3:44 pm
Any tips for tweaking it? It's for a commuter so I'm not interested in winding up the tension, i have it pretty much on the minimum but I gave it half a turn previously in an attempt to reduce this clicking (worked temporarily)

I replace my cleats and clicking noise stopped.

Make sure the three screws holding the front binding in place are tight. Maybe pull it off and add a faint smear of grease to its contact points before refitting.

If you do solve your problem let us know as it will be one more thing for me to try.

Rolling to the right:
Rolling to the left:
I also managed to tighten up the front binding a bit, maybe 1/32nd - 1/16th of a turn on each screw, though all four bindings were like this.
Will see how it goes on the ride home tonight

Build up the sole of the shoe with Shoo Goo. It will only be temporary but it will fill the space, can squash to make a firm fit and won't make walking any worse.
Cheers,
Cameron

I have tried lube, tried replacing the cleat & everything else listed here, with no success. Newer cleat did reduce the volume of the clicking, but it is still there.MattyK wrote:No luck. I haven't attacked them with lubricant yet though. (Principally because my 17 month old loves to hand crank my bike if it's within reach...)
Next attempt will be sticking a rubber pad on the pedal.
BTW handy hint #357 don't use degreasing wipes to remove the greasy evidence off hands & face - the red mark will last longer than the grease would have. I was seriously considering a chain guard just to stop my 20 month old from grabbing the chain. Ended up settling for a bike hoist to get it out of arms reach, at least for now.

Interested to hear of any solutions.
Time permitting I'll pull it all apart and put it back together with some fancy grease.
Hmmm,

That's been my temporary fix too. Or stop pulling up on the pedals.thomashouseman wrote:I just unclip and clip into the other side when it annoys me now

*After troubleshooting swapping old pedals back over, tightening bits, oiling others etc. Shoulda done the easy one first.
