Stuck Cleat, rider publicly toppled...

[Norse]

Try spraying a little WD-40 on the cleat.

Thanks! I'll give everything a good look tonight, incl. the possible loose cleat. Spray a little WD40, and try a lap around the parking lot, with bf on standby, just in case.

I've got one cleat on my road shoes that keeps losing one screw. I have to keep replacing the screw as well as the little metal piece of hardware that goes under the screw. Frustrating. Loose screws are no fun.

If you think there's any possibility that you might have cleat issues, relax and give yourself a little more time to stop, so you can clip out on the other side if you have to.

I guess I should try lock-tite or something .

I gave everything the once over last night and it looks good. The cleats are tight in the shoes, nothing is worn out, I even used a toothpick and a flashlight. Tomorow night I'll head to the parking lot (with bf in attendance) and try some wd 40. The pedals only have 120 miles on them, and there's little wear on the cleats. Maybe it was just a freak thing.
