Sidi Shoes - SPD plate rattle
The Sidi Millennium II sole has a plate to accept SPD pedals. After
attaching my Time cleats the SPD plate rattles with every step. Nothing is engaging the plate so it is free to move up and down. Is there a way to remove the SPD plate which I don't need? Wedging in some masking tape seems an ugly solution. Perhaps I should make a short M5 set screw. I would think that anyone not using an SPD cleat would have this problem but haven't seen any postings. Hmmm. Dave |

I've seen small grub screws in there ( a short screw with an allen broach but no actual head). Some SiDi insoles have a small slit which opens as a 'window' to service the threaded inserts. Fold open that window. Remove the unused (or a damaged ) threaded insert and press the insole flat. You can't tell that's been done after you press it home again. If your shoe doesn't have such a slit, one is easily cut with a sharp blade. It is not necessary or desirable to remove the entire liner. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Re: Sidi Shoes - SPD plate rattle
Thanks for the responses. I just shoved in a bit of masking tape.
Seems like it would be the easiest to undo. I'm still somewhat surprised that anyone would need to resort to glue, masking tape and knives when dealing with a brand new $200 shoe. |
