Troubleshooting

Difficulty clipping in or out.

Adjust the release tension on the pedals. Practice clipping in and out in a safe environment to get used to the mechanism. Check that the cleat is properly installed on your shoe.

Pedals feel loose or wobbly.

Ensure the pedals are securely installed on the crank arms. Tighten them with a pedal wrench. Check for any play in the bearings, and consider replacing or servicing the pedals if the problem persists.

Pedals make noise when riding.

Check the cleats and pedals for any debris. Clean and lubricate the pedals and cleats. Make sure the cleats are properly tightened to your shoes.
