Oasis Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Anyone else got the SIDI adventure 2 boots? Where the boots hinge at the ankle, it squeeks like mad when you're walking. Bloody annoying! Any ideas on how to stop it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerontious Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Im not sure there was ever a SIDI boot that didn't squeak... (there probably is.. but people don't tend to complain then...)its just one of those things you have to live with, with that particular brand. they tend to squeaksix years ago riders were complaining about the original ADV.. have a look at what this lot has to say. http://tinyurl.com/zvfd5do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Ah well, looks like it's a "feature". I only ever notice it when walking around bike shops. Have you ever noticed how deathly silent bike shops are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Tact Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I give my hinges a bit of chain lube spray every once in a while and it seems to stop the squeaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
