No, I'm pissed because it broke after less than 2000 miles. It's been maybe 20 since it started making noise, and I wasn't sure if it was the cleat or the pedal for the first part of that. I didn't know until today if it happened with both shoes that I wear. I didn't see movement until about 12 hours ago, and wasn't sure if it was the cleat (they always feel a little loose, so I couldn't tell it was the pedal) until I got to work today.

sounds like the retaining nut on the end worked itself loose.
contact crank bros. they will warranty them. guaranteed.
There's no nut at the end of either of them, just a port for grease. The nut inside is two different threaded rings that aren't accesible. It kind of looks like they're held in place by a kind of ring that lets the grease in...
I looked at the box that they came in, and I guess it was only $66, but still, that doesn't seem right. I don't have a receipt or anything anymore, but I'm pretty sure that I picked them up in Feb or Mar. I'm not sure I'd actually want the warranty now. I think I'm just going to look for a different clippless system. I've already gone through several pairs of cleats on the CrankBros system, mainly because I was pulling out when skidding. I'm not going to trust it brakeless anymore.
