The Crankbrothers Eggbeater 3 is an iconic pedal designed by Carl and Frank, the original founders of Crankbrothers. They were tired of dealing with pedals that got stuck in mud and had no easy way to get in or out. They realized that existing pedals were overly complicated.They 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.The Eggbeater's simple design offers the advantage of excellent mud shedding and four points of entry, making it perfect for XC, trail riding, and cyclo cross.Here are some details about the Eggbeater 3 pedal:- Cleat: Premium brass cleats included- Shims: Included- Release Angle: 15° to 20°- Warranty: 5 years- Weight: 278g per pair- Spindle: Forged scm435 chromoly steel- Body: Cast stainless steel- Wings: Cast stainless steel- Spring: 300 series stainless steel- Inner bearing: Needle- Outer bearing: Cartridge- Maximum rider weight: No restrictions- Colours options: Silver/Blue or Silver/RedYou can customize the fit and feel of your pedal using Crankbrothers tread contact sleeves (CRB-13282). The shims come in three different thicknesses, allowing you to ensure good contact between your shoes and the pedal axle. This is especially helpful as the tread on your shoes wears down and the contact moves away from the axle and onto the wings of the pedal.If you'd like to use the pedals on your road or commuter bike, you can purchase a set of Quattro cleats (CRB-15289) to use with your road shoes. This makes pulling off from junctions a breeze, as you have four points of entry to the pedals.Like the rest of the Crankbrothers range, these pedals are fully serviceable with a level 3/11 service kit (product code CRB-11730). Servicing is simple and doesn't require any specialist tools, just a flat head screwdriver, socket wrench, and 8mm Allen key to hold the pedal by the axle. We recommend cleaning and greasing the pedal every 30 hours of riding and inspecting the bearings for wear.
