One of my shimano spd xtr pedals is loose. It is tight in the crank, then moves too much from the spindle towards the pedal. Creaks when riding. Is this fixable if I bring into bike shop? Or am I looking at buying new pedals?
Shimano uses a cup and cone design with loose ball bearings. If the spindle has loosened up, the ball bearings may have started floating around. Usually you will hear a grinding noise as the pedal/bearings destroy themselves. Not that this has ever happened to me or anything LOL...
But, it sounds like yours might just need to be tightened up
