The calipers and pads that provide the friction on the heavy wheel of my spinning bike squeak. How to I stop it from squeaking?
Answer
Lube the pivot points on the caliper and don't get any on the brake pads or the suface the pads ride on. Use something like Finishline's Triflow in a drip bottle. It comes with a little straw and will be easier to apply and not make a mess than an aerosol. You may also check the pads that privide the resistance and make sure they aren't worn. (most are felt and will wear out).

Can I use my road bike shoes without cleats on a spin bike and just use the straps?

My cleats do not go with the pedals for the spin bike but can I still use my shoes and use the straps? They won't get ruined will they if I do not use the cleats?
Answer
There are several variables to consider. I recommend trying it and see how it works for you. If the shoes work, then check what sort of wear you see on the sole. If it's minor your good to go. I question what you will do when using your bike. installing cleats is not a 1 minute job.
