Crankbrothers Spindle Kit

This kit is compatible with most Crankbrothers Eggbeater, Candy, Mallet, 5050, and Double Shot pedals manufactured from 2010 to the present. If you are unsure of your pedal's production year, check the pedal body for specific model markings or consult your original purchase receipt.

Yes, the kit is a complete set designed to service both the left and right pedals. It includes two spindles, the necessary cartridge bearings, bushings, and the DSS double seals required for a full refresh.

While it is a straightforward process, it does require specific tools, including a pedal wrench and potentially a bearing press or socket set to remove the old components. If you are comfortable with basic drivetrain maintenance, you should be able to complete this, but consult the Crankbrothers service guide before starting.

Over time, the spindle surface can develop wear patterns or scoring that standard bearings cannot fix, leading to play or rough rotation. Replacing the spindle along with the bearings and seals ensures a factory-fresh feel and prevents premature wear on your new internal components.

These bearings are specifically chosen for their durability and smooth rotation under the high-load conditions of mountain biking. The Enduro MAX cartridge bearings handle heavy radial loads well, while the Igus LL-glide bushings provide a smooth, low-friction interface that resists contamination.
