Crankbrothers Candy Clip-In MTB Bike Pedal - Gravel/XC/Trail Lightweight Bicycle Pedal, 4 Sided Entry, Customizable Float, Premium Bearings

I've been using Crank Bros pedals on my commuter and CX bikes for years. Having used other 'walkable' pedal systems such as Shimano and Time, the ease of entry and exit for Crank Bros is far better than the rest. I usually buy the cheaper Candy 3 pedals and run them till they wear out. Decided to give the Candy 2's a try since you can rebuild them.. If you are a weight weenie these seem significantly heavier because of the metal construction. The plastic C3's also hurt less when you miss the pedal during a race and the pedal body spins around and rams into your shin. I'll probably stick to the C3's in the future. But these will go on my commuter bike and be rebuilt when the time comes.

These look great and the previous pair served me well on my cyclocross race bike.My first time riding any clipless pedals at all and these surely alleviated any apprehension I had about riding clipless pedals. easy to clip out of and get taht foot down in an emergency. Plenty of surface area to get the power down and feels surefooted eevn in very muddy conditions. THey shed mud very well!

I've ridden Shimano pedals for years. I bought Crank Brothers Candys on a recommendation from a fellow cyclist. They are easy in and out, and have less slop while pedaling. My one concern is the brass cleats. Time will tell how they hold up

These are the pedals I bought when I finally went clipless. Very easy to clip in once you figure out how to do it. Have been using them for about 6 weeks now and have no complaints. Have ridden 4-5 miles with regular shoes. Not very comfortable, which is expected, but doable. Would not want to ride much further than that without by biking shoes.

After thousands of cycling miles using Shimano, Speedplay, and Bebop clipless pedals, I ordered these as a less costly option for my secondary bike. They were returned after about 150 miles use.Evident almost immediately is that these pedals have absolutely no "float" at all, even less than Shimano SPD's. If you're not familiar with pedal "float", it refers to a clipless pedal's ability to let your foot (and knee) rotate somewhat before the cleat disengages. This allows your feet/knees to find their natural rotational angle on the pedal.If you need float, look somewhere else.Cleat engagement with these pedals is also relatively clumsy, usually requiring looking down at the pedals to get the shoe cleats properly engaged.Your results may vary, but I'll stick to other brands. More expensive, but less hassle.

I just got my first mountain bike, Scott Genius, and I went with these pedals.I love them. I like the egg beater style, easy in, easy out.These have the surface area I wanted to pedal a bit even when I'm not clipped in.Love these pedals. Metal, sturdy, look good, will probably last forever.

Rode them hard everyday for a month. They have hit rocks, gotten wet and muddy and they still work great. Holds my feet in tight enough so my feet don't slip off but not so tight that it is to hard to clip out. Clip out is nice and smooth. The spring seems sturdy enough to last years with little to no problems.

Pedals are generally okay, but Crank Brothers warranty is worthless. I sent sticky pedal back under warranty and they only want to sell me additional parts and service. Frankly, they made their decision before seeing the pedal -- said my cleat was not dialed in properly and I should remove shim. What shim? I do not have my cleat shimmed out. I have owned several pairs of the Candy 2's. I won't be buying from Crank Brothers again.

As usual a great pedal now with the updated bearings

These are my first clip in peddles and appart from a few comedy falls whilst forgetting to unclip it has been hugely sucessfull.The cleets (which actually come with the peddles) are easy to install. The hardest thing about installing the peddles was actually removing the old ones!I commute using these peddles everyday and have to admit that it certainly helps me maintain a steady pace.They look great. They work great. I love them.Lets see how long they last as I am hard on all my bike equipment.

Bin eben als absoluter Neuling im Sinne von Klickpedalen diese probegefahren. Wichtig war mir ein System, das möglichst einfach zu 'erlernen' ist, optisch zu einem alten Stahlrenner passt und auch lange Touren über 100km bequem macht. Die klassischen Pedalhaken mit normalen Schuhen waren mir viel zu unbequem und gefährlich. Bin schon mal in Pedalhaken hängen geblieben- hatte also auch ein bisschen Bedenken bei den cleats. Aber- gefunden! Sie bieten etwas mehr Auflagefläche, und man kommt - auch ungeübt - recht einfach in die Pedale hinein und hinaus. Da man sich de facto von 4 Seiten einhaken kann, ist man bald in der Bindung drin, ohne Hinschauen. Die passenden Schuhe haben auch eine Art Führungsrille, die einem beim 'Einfädeln' helfen. Ich habe mal mit einem Schuh mit cleats auf einer Seite begonnen. Dank der breiten Standfläche kann man auch ein paar Meter mit normalen Schuhen fahren.Die Auslösestärke der Feder lässt sich zwar nicht verstellen, ist mE aber nicht übertrieben hart. Auch die Bewegungsfreiheit des Knies finde ich (float bis 15-20Grad) sehr angenehm. Ich hatte nicht den Eindruck, beim Bewegungsablauf unnötig fixiert zu sein, außer dass eben die Pedale an der Sohle 'kleben' :-). Ich kann sie Einsteigern nur empfehlen, da mE auch das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis passt. Sie sind zwar ein bisschen schwerer als diverse Leichtgewichte, machen aber einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Ich fahre sie mit Straßen-Rennschuhen (brauche also einen Cleat-Adapter von 3 Löcher (look) auf 2 (SPD). Das Crankbrothers-System ist sonst eher für Mountainbikeschuhe gedacht. Den Adapter gibt es aber auch von Crankbrothers. Für längere Fußmärsche sind Systemschuhe zwar nicht geeignet. Mit Sohlenüberziehern (covers- auch hier zu finden) geht dies aber auch.Mit den für den Fuß perfekten Schuhen mE der ultimative Komfort fürs sportlichere Radfahren. Ich möchte nicht mehr darauf verzichten. Radelgenuss ohne schmerzende Füße- meine Lösung für schnell verkrampfte Ballen und Zehen am Rad.

Mi serviva un pedale ed ho trovato questo con un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Ho sempre usato crack brothers sia sulla mtb che sulla bdc e mi sono sempre trovato bene, ottimo peso, ottimo sgancio e ottimi anche sul fango. Ho preso quello grigio per il prezzo più basso e come tutti i pedali cranck che ho preso sono una garanzia. Ho preso il modello 2 in quanto si può cambiare il rebuild kit, cosa che faccio ogni 2 o 3 anni, senza bisogno di cambiare tutto il pedale. Consigliatissimo come pedale visto anche il prezzo su amazon più basso della concorrenza.

Cercavo dei pedali non troppo pesanti e facili da usare, direi che ho centrato con questi candy. Lo sgancio é molto efficace, così come l'aggancio, sui tratti tecnici si riescono ad usare sganciato senza troppi problemi.
