Loose pedal parts can cause ticks and creaks, let alone the unsolid feeling under foot if it's really bad. Andy
I used to run Lyotard 460D pedals (similar construction) on all my bikes, TT, tour/commute and even my original MTB. I never had a problem except with the end caps loosening (and that one time I crashed hard, and the spindle broke a few rides later). I still have some 460D, but it's hard to justify clips and straps since I started using clipless pedals (probably 15 years after everyone else did). Maybe if I ride one of those retro events where everything has to look period-correct ...
