It's only really if I stand up to sprint or climb. I don't set the springs too tight, so there is a bit of flex as your foot pushes forwards slightly. When I'm seated it's completely fine, and it's not as loud as the creaking I was getting from the last atacs. It's an exposed spring, so it will need a bit of lube from time to time.
I think it's also happening because the sole on my left shoe is pretty worn down so it's less in contact with the surrounding platform.

Was going to ask if this was just when you clip in/out or on every pedal stroke but I’ve just looked at the price of them so it probably doesn’t matter.
I moved away from Atacs to spd because it felt like my foot was falling off the outside of the pedal with Atacs but tbh that might have been exacerbated by me wearing skate style shoes that were too big for me.
Anyway, been fairly happy with spds but they don’t seem to last long before they start creaking. I think it’s the bit that holds the cleat getting rusty.
I had been buying the cheapest m540 pedals because I had them on a few bikes but now I’ve only really got one bike running clipless I wonder if I should spend more on fancier spds or try something like Look?
