Pedals creaking
Hi everyone,
Every time I put the power down, there is a creaking sound coming from the right-hand pedal area at a particular point on the pedal stroke. It doesn't happen when I am just coasting along, only when I'm putting a reasonable amount of effort in at a high speed.
The weird thing is, if I shift the position of my foot in the pedal slightly, it seems to stop (but this is then not my natural pedalling position, ad a little uncomfortable). But I can't tell whether it's due to the pedal itself, the cleat or if its a problem with my shoes? I have look Keo plus pedals with grey cleats, if that makes any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Check the crankset bolts.0

If the cleats are keo non slip then the problem may be the cleats. You an tell the non slip as they have a rubber band glued on to them. These cleats are know to creak. You could swap the cleats over to rule them out.0

Try taking the pedal off,cleaning and greasing the threads and refitting
Worked for me once when all else failed, must have been grit in the threads.
Yours sounds more like a cleat/pedal interface issue if it goes when you alter the angle of your foot. I would remove cleats from shoes after marking their position, give the shoes,cleats and pedals a good clean and reassemble.
If their shimano pedals its a regular issue on my bikes.0
