I too once had a cleat screw loosen just enough to almost prevent clipping in, and worse, prevent un-clipping. Good idea to check your cleats and screws periodically.

A guy friend of mine full on broke a cleat about halfway into a century. Not a pleasant second half of a century for him!

I wouldn't have thought to check the cleats (once I get them on my shoes). Thanks for posting this!

Beca--it's an epoxy that essentially glues the threads of the screw to whatever they're screwed into to keep them from coming loose.At least I don't leave slime trails.
