Crankbrothers Spindle Kit

This kit is compatible with most Crankbrothers pedal models—including Eggbeater, Candy, Mallet, 5050, and Double Shot—manufactured from 2010 to the present. If your pedals are older than 2010, this specific spindle kit will not be compatible.

Increasing your Q-factor by 5mm widens your stance width, which can significantly improve comfort for riders with wider hips or those who need extra clearance between their shoes and the crank arms. It is a simple adjustment that can help alleviate knee strain and improve your overall pedaling ergonomics.

Yes, this is a comprehensive refresh kit. Beyond the extended spindles, it includes all necessary cartridge bearings, glide bearings, seals, end caps, and even a specialized bearing removal tool to make the installation process straightforward.

If you are comfortable performing basic bike maintenance, you should find this installation manageable. The kit includes the necessary removal tool, but you will need standard shop tools like a wrench and a socket to complete the swap.

The spindle kit weighs 112g per pair. While this is a slight increase over standard spindles, the benefit of a better-fitting, more comfortable bike position usually outweighs the negligible weight penalty for most riders.
