|   time ATAC pedals | monsta45
Apr 25, 2002 2:10 PM | | i just put on my new pedals and took them out for a spin. they pedals rock on entry and release, but i have a question about the creaking.
is it just me or should they not creak like a boat out at sea. is there something i am doing wrong on installation or what?
please help stop the creaking |

Apr 25, 2002 3:04 PM | | I'm not sure what the rocking is from. They will develop this when they get old. I have a set that have worn holes under the cleats. I've been meaning to fill the holes with epoxy to get more life out of them. This shouldn't be a problem if they are new though. Are the cleats installed correctly? The pedals are very quiet if you grease the points where the cleat clips to the springs. |

Apr 25, 2002 3:59 PM | | uhm, when i said they rock, i meant the "rock"- they kick ass. i had some shimano 646 before and had a hard time getting in and out. i will try greasing the points like you said- thanx |

| Put some grease in between the rubber boot... | arch

| You have to take the top plates off and clean... | Metroid
