Cleat coming loose during ride

[lerouc]

Hi

I have a pair of Lake MX330 shoes and CrankBrothers candy pedals.

The pedals i bought second hand off the hub but I bought new cleats less than a year ago. I have not been riding much since January but started again about 5 weeks ago.

Everything was fine until two weekends ago. My right foot didn't want to get out of my pedal (fell once or twice) and I thought there was something wrong with my pedal. Upon inspection after washing all the mud away i noticed the cleat under the shoe come loose. I tightened the bolts again and didn't think of it again.

 

Went for another ride on Saturday and let’s say an hour into the ride the same story. I stopped and fastened it again and off I went. After the ride I checked and it was coming loose again.

 

Is there something wrong or is all I need a bit of LockTIght?

 

Thanks,

Cobus

I had the same problem with SPD cleats on Sidi Dragons. I used a drop of blue Loctite on each bolt - problem solved.

If you cant get Loctite try some Super Contact from Gemkem or Bostik. Your threads in shoes might also be stripped.

q20 in the hole and on the screw and tighten. Seems to work.

I did this and have been riding without issue since! Thanks for the advice!
