  1. hello everyone, i am training to be a pro ๐Ÿ˜„. my shoe is making sound especially when i climb. it comes from the LOOK clip on the shoe. i sprayed WD40 on it and it works. now it comes back. is there a permanent solution? the screws are ok because there are many grease on it.

  2. Are you sure it is the cleat? Is this happening on BOTH sides?

    If NOT on both sides, then change the one cleat for the other & see if the noise moves, accordingly.

    If it does, then TRY THIS:

    • go to an automotive store (or, "Wally World"๐Ÿ˜‰ & get a tube of some silicone gasket maker ... put a THIN layer on the cleat ... let dry ... re-attach.

    Of course, you could also re-attach the cleat when the "gasket maker" is "wet" if you want ... it is NON-adhesive (i.e., you should be able to peel it off without too much effort).

    My Look cleats creaked and so did a number of other riders I know that have them. I ended up switching to shimano.

  4. Are you sure that your shoe isn't just rubbing on the crank? This happens to lots of people. I am happy with speedplay pedals/cleats, because they are really easy to get in and out of, plus they can swivel around plently.

  5. My shoes make a few sounds all by themselves.
