Crankbrothers Eggbeater 2 MTB Pedals

The design for the original crank brothers pedal began out of frustration. The founders of crank brothers, Carl and Frank, were tired of getting stuck in mud-covered pedals with no way in or out. They realised that existing pedals were too complicated

It started with a simple question: what is the best way to attach a shoe to a crank? To answer this question, Carl and Frank created a system with only two moving parts hinging on a spring. This system became known as the eggbeater pedal, and later it was adapted into the candy pedal.

A word on maintenance
In order to keep your crank brothers pedals running smoothly, they recommend the following:

• clean pedals every 30 hours of riding
• remove the pedal body from the spindle and wipe it clean of any dirty grease
• apply fresh grease to the inside of the pedal before re-installing the spindle
