Favorite Things: Crank Brothers Pedals

We're starting a little something different, seeing if you are interested. I've asked each of the guys at the shop to a few write-ups on different parts, people, rides, etc that they find to be their "favorite". A little way to share the things we love about cycling with you.

The first one comes from Mike, a dedicated user of Crank Brothers Egg Beater pedals:

Since Crank Bros. introduced the Eggbeater pedal over a decade (?) ago, I knew had to get a pair. The sheer simplicity of their design is what drew me too them, and the ease of use and maintenance is what has had me outfit 4 mountain bikes, 1 cyclocross bike, and 1 road bike with them over the years. Float adjustment is achieved by simply by choosing which cleat goes on which shoe. Entry and exit are like butter, even in the muddiest of conditions thanks to the ample mud clearance of the wings as well as the 4 sided design. Their minimal weight is just the icing on the cake! All of these things make Eggbeaters my FAVORITE pedals. Period.


I can say that I think Mike has hit the nail on the head. I own at least 6 pairs of these pedals, from Egg Beater 4ti, 2ti, SL's, and even some Candy 3's.

Pricing ranges from $60 to $425 depending on how light you want them to be thanks to generous doses of titanium.
