MTB Shoes making noise when pedaling!

[AllAboutRides]

Hi there Hubbers,

 

I know this might be a very k@k question but believe me it irritates the crap out of me.....

 

I have Look S-Trac pedals on my MTB but the laste few weeks while training my shoes is making a squeeking noise everytime I put power to the pedal?

 

Anyone had this experience before?

 

My cleats is correctly fitted but I cant find the problem.

 

Please help

100% until it comes back mid-ride

it could also be the springs moving with some grit.

 

When I still rode S-tracks every 3 months I would take off both springs and clean everything well and while I had them out I would bend them back a little (vice+'waterpomp tang' ) tiny amount of grease on the springs and put everything back together. They run quiet and the cleat engagement feels much stiffer there after.

 

 

Just get a proper t10 tool to avoid stripping the screws.

clean with light degreaser and put a little bit (emphasis on little ) grease on the springs ,works great for my XT trails
