SIDI Adventure 2 boots

[Oasis]

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??

[Gerontious]

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 squeak

six years ago riders were complaining about the original ADV.. have a look at what this lot has to say. http://tinyurl.com/zvfd5do

Ive had 2 sidi boots and both were squeakers.

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?

you could try rubbing some wax around the area

Vasoline works if you get it on the plastic buckles

Wax stopped my sidi's from squeaking when they where doing my mates dads head in

Ever since then a bit of wax of some sort has been a good cure

Any wax you can recommend?

I have used candle wax with success before

But I have some leather conditioner stuff with bees wax in it so just use a bit of that now

Graphite from pencils works good too......

Tbh the missus has sidis and as said wax solved the prob but as a quick fix a spray of wd40 worked just as well but didn't last as long,,,,,,,read into that what ya want

I give my hinges a bit of chain lube spray every once in a while and it seems to stop the squeaking
