Do these pedals creak when you push down? I notice that happens with these cage designs from flexing.

No, these pedals are built very well, and customizable. no creaks. top rate pedals.

Mine bent the frist time I rode. Returned them and spent the extra to get spank spikes.

No it's smooth and silent. I hate squeaky anything anywhere and my bike is no exception. Amazing pedals but watch your shins!

Hasn't happened to me yet. I love these pedals so far. Only been on about a couple dozen rides with them but I weigh 200lbs and they feel solid. Very light also.

No squeaks. I called customer service at the company once and they were so good. Why not try that?

you might want to try spraying the bolts/screws around the foot pad (where your feet goes on the pedals) with WD 40 ...to stop the squeaks and clicks...that might/should help? where ever you hear sounds coming from...I would spray that area with WD 40...if that dont work there is a phone number of the company that makes the gazelle 1-800-519-8061 they 'might' be able to tell you what the problem might be...

I got mine months ago and sit on them all the time- they actually are the sturdiest ive seen and I searched high and low for an alternative. I was skeptical as well- but yeah im a big girl and they don't even squeak a protest when I sit my ample tushy down. :0)

No they aren't, stiffen but not rigid, but I use a rack and it keeps the panniers out of the way. I haven't had any spoke problems, even with big bulky loads.

I've installed them as-is.. I have not have any issue so far - no squeaking or vibrations.

Mine makes an occasional soft clicking, Check to make sure the pedal is seated correctly and tight enough, and if it really seems to be a problem, call customer assistance. They were very helpful when I had a problem with assembly.

It's very common for any pedal with some built in distortion settings. If set too high you will get this problem. May need a noise gate in your chain of effects.

Yes the pedals stay in place if you use Velcro. Depending upon the size of your pedals will determine spacing

Not Mine, They snap down tight. If left in the up position, they would rattle

I tryed to think of what could possibly make a sound like that, and I think it would be most likely involved in the tension mechanism. Try adjusting it all the way so it's hard to peddle, then begin backing off the tension untill you found your desired setting.

Mine squeak, other than that I have no issues. I am using them on the rear of a jeep xk to provide an additional 1" lift, so your application and experience may be different.

No, it's not loud. Most of what you hear is the slight rattle or clicking of the pedals as you pedal. This is because the pedals are slightly narrower than the axles and they slide sideways against the stops. If it squeaks just reverse the pedaling direction for a few revelations. It squeaks because the grease is balling up.

I did so, and yes it's lower, but what bugs me is the creaking noises. I never heard anything when I had a regular mattress on the box spring, but with the memory foam mattress on top, it makes loud creaking noises when I shift positions. Not always, but often. I'm thinking about putting a plywood board between the mattress and box springs.

I own 3 bikes: Brompton, Surly, CETMA. 2 of them are handmade. I do all the wrenching on them. I've tried these pedals on the CETMA. The bearings wore out in a few months. Doesn't matter how much they weigh. They suck. Spend your money on some MKS pedals, instead.

Only advice I can give is to make sure that it is in fact the springs rattling. Im sure you know these are a much stiffer than stock so you may hear some things moving around that you didnt hear before. Seems like once I drove around on them for a while they settled down. Especially once i pulled the first big load with them. Hope this helps.

Yes. it "creaks" a lot. very annoying. I've got everything tightened down but it creaks constantly. Just like my old Giant adjustable.Fixed stems don't creak. Now I know why they use fixed stems. I might have to see where I like the angle and then try to buy a fixed stem at that angle.
