Also, after a couple of weeks, take the pedals off the spindles (8mm nut) and clean them good and put a bunch of fresh grease in there. They will last a long time.
Yeah, my pedals were creaky at first. Make sure your cleats are torqued down well too. Same with the pedals into the crank arms. When you say put fresh grease in do you eman IN the pedals (like with a grease gun) or on the threads of the spindles?
