Speedplay Zero Cleats

[roadie gal]

Thanks everyone for your replies, good to hear it's not just me (although not so good for everyone else!).

My local hardware store usually stocks the screws in packs of 100 for pennies, but is currently out of stock, so when they come back in, I'll have a few spare!

Roadie Gal - which loctite is the blue one? I'm based in the UK and fear the packaging may be different here. I don't want to end up super gluing my screws in by mistake!

It's Loctite Threadlocker. It comes in blue, red and green. The Threadlocker part is the important thing so you know you're not getting super glue. Here's the web site. It's not a great picture, but it gives you the idea. Good Luck!

Its the only thing I hate about my cleats. Fell over the side once, cause I couldn't pop my cleats out. How embarassing.

Thank you for the info. I just hate HomeDepot.

Aside from the screw problem, I love my speedplay.

My SO also uses blue Loctite on his Speedplay cleats with no problems at all!

Hey I have 2 sets of the same pedals & cleats (one for my road bike and one for my commuter) cause I love them so much. My bf put my cleats on my shoes and said that the screws should be pretty tight and didn't use loctite (with the thought they would never loosen, which they haven't).
Thr problem you're having could be from the tight springs, since the zeros cleats are pretty tight springs.
I havent had a problem with the zeros, but it did take a little while to get used to the spring tightness

I had called once again to Speedplay about the problems with the scews (plus suggesting that they recess the screws so that the screw heads don't wear down) and guess what? They just sent me 8 replacement screws - pre-Loctited!

Speedplay rules!!!
