hi - hope this isn't too dumb of a question. i have searched a fair bit and not found anything (which worryingly makes me think it might be REALLY dumb):
i have shimano spd mtb type pedals and i've tightened them several times over the last year or so. last time i did so i seemed to get to some sort of stop where i couldn't turn the allen key anymore (i think i may have rounded off the bolt on at least one anyway).
one pedal in particular is now very annoyingly loose. my cleats don't look to be very worn so i'm wondering it is new pedal time? is there a finite amount you can tighten that spring before it won't go anymore or would new cleats (despite the existing looking pretty good) remedy the situation?
thanks,
al.
