I'm getting clicking when out of the saddle and going for it, both sides. One or two loud clicks with each pedal stroke. Nothing when sat down or pedalling softly.
They're speedplay zeros, bought 2nd hand (off here). I've fitted new J&L longer Ti spindles, new Chinese Ti bowties, new cleats.
I have pushed new grease into them but haven't changed the bearings as couldn't remove the circlip. I did the bolts back up to the required torque but they felt a bit rough so backed them off a quarter turn or so. There's no play in them.
What's causing the clicking?
New bearings? Shit spindles? Something else I've not thought of?
