Crankbrothers Egg Beater Pedals

The 4-sided entry is designed to make clipping in intuitive and fast, especially in muddy conditions. Because the mechanism is open, mud and debris are pushed through the pedal rather than getting packed inside, ensuring you can engage your cleat regardless of trail conditions.

Yes, they are compatible with any mountain bike shoe that accepts a standard 2-bolt cleat pattern. The included brass cleats mount directly to your shoes, and you can use the provided plastic shims to adjust the fit if your shoe sole interferes with the pedal engagement.

The left pedal is easily identified by a grooved line on the spindle. Always double-check this before installing, as the left pedal is reverse-threaded and will damage your crank arm if installed on the wrong side.

These pedals are built with premium Enduro cartridge and igus II glide bearings, which are highly durable. While they are sealed against the elements, it is good practice to periodically clean the mechanism and check for play in the spindle to ensure smooth performance over time.

While they are a favorite for XC racing due to their minimal weight, they are robust enough for general trail riding. However, because they lack a large external platform, they offer less foot support than a traditional trail pedal, so they are best suited for riders who prefer a lightweight, minimalist setup.
