lucky guess yes, educated i think not!!! in my explanation i clearly stated obvious and actual problems i did not flame a pedal manufacturer like you so obviously decided to do

 

 

 

now you might not be a bike mechanic but by making vague comments like "do you by any chance ride look pedals" means that yes maybe the squeak on your bike was caused by your looks but in my experience it is not only one brand that squeaks!!!

 

 

 

hence why i said you clearly dont work on many bikes

 

 

 

by the way an educated guess is saying grab the pedal and pull up and down on the pedal if there is play then the pedal might be the problem but if you change pedals and the noise carries on then it could be a number of different things as i mentioned before

 

 

 

so before you nail a brand because you rode your pedals till they squeaked rather offer a solution to the problem like i did and then say that yours also did that!!!

How would i tighten the pedal to the axel?

 

 

 

 

your LBS should have the tools to tighten it and it would normally require a re grease to lube up the bearings and prevent play

 

 

 

different pedals require different axle tools and some lbs's might not have one in thier workshop so give them a call first and if they dont know what you are talking about then they dont have one

 

 

 

good luck with finding one

So you agree that it could be caused by the pedals - are you by any chance a look mechanic - or just a bike mechanic?

Tim is actually one of the few mechanics I'll trust to work on my bike or pedals. Tim ....you're spot on....can't see it being the pedals either. The old Delta system is known to be prone to squicking.....not Keo's.
