Crank Brothers Candy SL

Hello

I just purchased the Crank Brothers Candy SL in Black and I'm riding them with the Shimano MA80's (which handles the 2 bolt design). I'm not sure if it's something on my end or what but I noticed when I pull up to stop (I ride a fixed gear) it squeaks.

I know it isn't my chain or chainline as I have cleaned it several times in the past couple of days.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much,
Jonathan

it may be the tread on your shoe, or it may be the new cleats in their wearing-in period. I remember right after I got mine, on a 20 mi ride when it got hot, my shoes squeaked against my pedals when I would move them a bit in the float.

Check the bolts that hold the cleats, did you grease them before screwing them in? Make sure they are greased, and tight.
