I had this happen to me last year on my new bike. I had maybe 4 or 500 miles on it..thought the same thing that my cleat was coming loose. I was going up a hill and thought something just wasn't right. Luckily I was on a century ride and the mechanic did a quick fix and I got home to call the shop where I bought the bike from. I had my DH torque down the bolt/nut to the recommended torque and it's been fine ever since. I've put almost 2000 miles on it since then and it's never bothered again. I do check it every now and then and that is something I had never thought to check before when I was doing basics on my bike.

I would request he credit you the cost of the FSA crankset with you paying the upgrade. I have dealt with faulty cranksets and sometimes Loctite still won't work.

I spoke with my husband....he said the same. It's a problem with the Gossamer. He has one in the shop right now that came back because the crank loosened up. He hasn't had any brought back after fixing it, but if the shop will work out a deal for you to upgrade to an ultregra and you can afford it, go for it!
