Road Cycling - Time Impact pedals with Sidi Genius Shoe Question

Alright I purchased a pair of Time Impact Ti-Mag pedals used but with not much use on them. The right one after a week of use has developed a clicking sound sometimes a double clicking sound. Only when I put weight on it. I retightened all the screws they were all tight by the way. I lubed the springs they seem clean. I clicked the shoe in and checked to see if anything looks like it might rub I can't see anything that would stand out. Am I over looking the obvious the clicking sound is really annoying for me and anyone around me!!!

I have the steel version of the Time Impact pedals and they produce a clicking sound when the brass part of the cleat gets a bit loose. I don't know if that's what's causing the sound on yours, but that was the reason mine were clicking. You can check your cleats and see if the brass nubs have any play to them. Tighten them if they do. The brass nubs on my cleats were always coming loose because of my feet movement so I put a few drops of Loctite on the screws to make sure they don't come loose when I pedal. Since then I haven't had any problems or strange noises.

I'm also thinking that if your cleats have worn down that could also cause some squeaking or clicking. Tightening the tension on the pedal might help.

I checked the brass and it was tight and no play. For the tension on the pedal which adj is that?

On the outside edge of the pedal you'll see a hole for a hex key. That's the tension adjustment for the spring. On mine, there are only three settings: loose, medium and tight. For a new cleat, loose is fine. For an old cleat, I have to set it to tight.

Good luck!

I adj the tension and tried each setting but that didn't help then swapped out the pedal for an old pedal I know does not click and sure enough no click. So I wanted to throw the Impact pedal as far as I could but instead I cleaned it real good then oiled the crap out of it. last time I only oiled it. Remounted it and no click! Maybe this is a temp fix but thanks for the help. At least I know I am not the only one with a click coming from the pedals.

Great!

I've found that because of the pronation of my feet I tend to work the brass parts loose very frequently and nubs also wear out very quickly (well, they're brass!). I keep the old cleats around in case I need replacement parts. These Time cleats are expensive but they seem to work well.

Keep the pedals turning!
