To squeak, or not to sqeak?

[McJamweasel]

That is, indeed, the question.

New Sidi Vertebra boots, just about 50 miles old and the infernal squeak has started.

Anyway, do I leave the squeak for comedy value or get out the WD40 and stay silent, for the hard biker image?

You decide.

My mate's do the same thing. But his answer was that it was one of MCN's top ten coolest things about biking, that the Sidi boots squeak.



My opinion, it'll piss you off more and more. Reach for the WD40 mate!

Vaseline will probably give you long term squeek protection.

Also, everyone things your a hard biker if you move silently and carry a pot of vaseline. Well that or just a rapist.

Keep it, as has been said it was rated as one of the best things in biking and on the plus side you can annoy people by using your squeak to anony them when standing around.

WD40 is crap at squeekiness removing. I like my squeek now. But that maybe just the attention it brings and we know you don't like attention

Hi

They just sound like you are molesting a guine pig.

Do something to stop the squeak.

Please.

All the best

Keep the squeek in one and get rid on the other... that way you have the best of both boots(and it will probably confuse loads of people )

Keep the squeak! It has so much style, for some reason it always makes my day walking through shops and getting odd looks

WD40

WD40 worked wonders when I had the SiDi boots, but so far have had little or no effect on my Oxtars and alpinestars boots

I love my squeak... Keep it!

Unless you're intending to complete any stealth missions to burgle/sneak generally in the near future, in which case the infernal noise is a dead giveaway to your location.
