I realize that they aren't SMX-Plus boots so that may be where we're divergent but they are a "newer" model of the SMX line.

and the SMX-5

They gave us that lube to put on them...I have no clue where that went. You ever notice that they stop when they are hot? I just came in from riding and they weren't squeaking at all.

I thought it was just my ears from the race baffles in the exhaust...I guess they don't squeak as much if at all when they are hot.

HAHAHAHA! Believe it or not, they stop squeaking if it's really hot. It's about 85-90 outside and I did a few "hot laps" and I walked up the stairs to my apt and noticed there wasn't any squeak! Here's the funny part, now I've been sitting in the AC and guess what? SQUEAKING!!!!

This is true, I meant gear wise though. I could be wearing similar gear to hers, this way Id be extra safe in the garage working on my bike.

Oh I wasn't implying you were wrong but I was like damn it figures I only bought my 4 months ago.... and there's already a better version out...

they are different though and I would have stuck with the plus style with the metal shank since they are mainly for the track and I'd guess that would hold up better....who knows.

FWIW I have two pairs of the plus boots, one pair of the old SMX-3s, a pair of Icons and a pair of Joe Rockets....I pick the sqeakers every time!

My A* squeek like a bitch too. I put a piece of electrical tape under the ankle armour and it quieted them down a little.
