Pedal clicking

Anonymous

HI.

My pedals seem to have developed a click, on each pedal stroke my pedals have a weird click sound, and I can feel it, I was thinking maybe it was the bottom bracket? But it only happens when I am clipped in.

Any ideas?


Thanks
Will.

You have the old SPD-SL type, what's the wear like on the plastic plates?

You need to replace the plates when they wear otherwise they can cause a bit of clicking sound with the cleat. The newer SPD-SLs have a wider metal plate and don't really wear out.

What plastic plates? Do I need to remove the pedals?

Take a photo of the pedals for us...

Looks like the plastic plate has worn right through.

New plates are hard to find, but I'd recommend getting a set of the new 105s with the wider metal bottom plate. Bearings shouldn't have in the pedals this quickly.
