Wear and tear cleats - spd

[Pure Savage]

Hi all, got some squeaking from cleats, trying to decide if pedal or cleat is worn, any thoughts?

 

The cleat seems to have a metallic shine to it. Done roughly 15000km on pedals and 4000 on cleats

Those look gaar. Check foe a new set on sale somewhere...

Your pedal body looks a little worse for wear. And I take it that you have done a bit of walking on those cleats.

Ask one of your mates that also rides Shimano to take a spin with his shoes (or borrow his shoes) and see whether or not it still squeaks. If the squeaking stopped, then you know that buying new cleats will sort out the problem.

 

EDIT: if not, buy new pedals.

Awesome, will do that!

 

Will try some out and look around.

 

I have seen dura ace, ultegra, what is difference, just weight?

take a candle and wipe it over the contact surface of the pedal contact area, as well as over the cleat. This will usually stop squeaks between the contact points. If it still persists then your pedals bearings are worn.

Get some Look pedals rather.

Replace the cleats first - if it still squeaks then replace the pedals... you would never ride new pedals with old cleats would you?...

Ok, so after a quick look on the web and a mail I got amazing service once again from the guys at Evobikes and got some new pedals and cleats!!

 

Great service and always a pleasure to go out there!

Cleats look shot, I would replace those.
