FAQ - Clip-In Pedals

All Crankbrothers clip-in pedal systems contain two pedals (one left pedal, one right pedal), one pair of cleats with mounting hardware, and one Crankbrothers icon sticker.

Most Crankbrothers clip-in pedals come with our 6-degree float, Standard Release cleats. Our Candy 1, Eggbeater 1, and Double Shot 1 pedals come with our Easy Release cleats instead, with a smaller release angle required to unclip but still featuring 6 degrees of float.

Although closely related, float and release angle refer to separate characteristics of our cleats. "Float" is what we call the amount of rotational free play while clipped-in, whereas "Release Angle" refers to the angle of rotation of the cleat required to completely exit from the pedal, ie "unclip".

All standard bicycle pedal spindles are threaded specifically for either the left or right side of your bike, ours included - it's important to double check you're installing the correct pedal to the matching crank arm to avoid damage. A close inspection of the flange of the pedal spindle will indicate either Left side (with a grooved flange) or Right side (with a flat flange).

You'll need an 8mm hex wrench and bike grease for proper installation of your pedals - watch our tutorial here!

Maintenance schedules can vary greatly depending on riding conditions and mileage, but as a general rule of thumb, we recommend a seasonal re-grease of the internal components to keep things running smoothly. We also offer refresh kits with new bearings, seals, and hardware when a full overhaul is desired. Pro tip: Avoid using a pressure washer at close distances to clean your pedals, as water could get past the external seals and displace the grease your pedals need to spin freely.

No - SPD cleats won't work with our pedals.

Although we always recommend using Crankbrothers shoes featuring MATCH Technology for an optimized setup right out of the box, any MTB or Gravel shoes which feature a recessed two-hole cleat mounting box are compatible with our pedal system. With third-party footwear, it may be necessary to use additional shims or traction pads to fine-tune the shoe-to-pedal interface [pro tip: use our Cleat Tool to find your ideal shim setup]. In addition, you can even adapt a three-hole road shoe to be compatible with our Eggbeater or Candy pedals with the use of our adapter kit.

Reviews

I really like the 4

"I really like the 4 sided entry on these pedals. Not having to constantly try to flip the pedal into the only clip in position is great. Nice light design as well."

— Nick C. (5/5)

I love the Candy 1

"I love the Candy 1 pedals. This is just a new addition to a new gravel bike. Dependable, never a problem. Rock on!"

— Manny C. (5/5)

Used for BMX racing. Easy

"Used for BMX racing. Easy to get clipped in at the gate. Matches the bike perfectly."

— Thomas K. (4/5)

Great starter clipless pedal

"Decided to upgrade to clipless on my gravel bike. The Candy 1s installed easy. Worked seemlessly with my Pearl iZumis shoes. I didn't need to use shims or anything. Absolutely 0 complaints of issues with these pedals. Highly recommend as a starter pedal for clipless."

— Jon S. (5/5)

Great pedals

"Great pedals"

— Daniel P. (5/5)

Unbeatable entry-level clipless pedal option

"I've had these pedals for about 2 years now, and even as the 'base model' plastic-bodied option, they've held up amazingly well. I've found them to be much more forgiving to ride on than the SPD options I used in the past. I'm planning to upgrade to an alloy model (the double shot 2) but will be keeping these as a lightweight backup as they still have tons of life left. I like knowing that they're serviceable in the future too should they ever need it."

— Chris (5/5)

Great pedals, easy to install,

"Great pedals, easy to install, work great with mallet shoes. Using them in cross country rides."

— Dave K. (5/5)

"Good design, not too bulky, easy entry and good feeling underfoot!"
