Pedals are such a bane, er, I mean pain. I have had noises come from the braces, top block, bad glue joints in the posts (top and bottom), polyesters... and other things. If the source isn't obvious then it is usually something moving tht should not, loose scrfews, loose glue joints or two polly surfaces rubbing which usually involves lubricating or epoxy or CA. Other sources, shues, socks, lyre bottom platjes, glazed bushings, on, on and on. Look, listen, investigate, assume nothing until you _know_ from whense it comes. Good hunting. Newton
