for dura ace pedal owners

squeak squeak squeak. wtf? i replaced my old cleats and for a week the squeak went away. now it's back. i even replaced the plastic insert on the top of the pedal. it is worse than a squeak. it's like two banshees shrieking at the moon. it's so loud it's embarrassing when i encounter another rider or a pedestrian. if you left a bike in the rain for 15 years and then rode it down the block there would be less squeaking. i put some grease on the cleats and the squeaking went away for one ride. today it came back in the middle of a 50 miler. it was so irritating i wanted to ride my bike off a cliff.

is this a common problem with shimano pedals/cleats?
