Crank Brothers

When it comes to making bicycle pedals, there are not many manufacturers more respected in the world of cycling than Crank Brothers. With a range of pedals to meet different specifications on offer, these pedals offer stability, reliability and durability, whatever a rider's event. There is also no need to use clips with these pedals, as a rider can simply clip their feet into them, whatever the footwear and weather.

One range of pedals which has proved especially popular in recent years is the Crank Brothers Egg Beater. Light, weighing in at just 278 grams per pair of pedals, this range also boasts forged scm435 chromoly steel spindles, with needle inner bearings and cartridge outer bearings. Premium brass cleats also help to keep the rider's feet in place when hammering out the revs needed to win races.

The Crank Brothers Mallet offers up less than 472 grams in terms of weight, while carbon steel wings provide extra durability. Premium brass cleats provide the grip, while aluminium kick plates and platform help to keep the pedals light. Crank Brothers Candy pedals weigh in at less than 300 grams per pair and can handle a rider who weighs up to 90 kilogram's. Their two-piece, machined aluminium body adds a nice touch of style as well as practicality to the design.

Crank Brothers pedals offer strength and durability as well as lightness and flexibility. For the rider looking to shave seconds off their time and improve their placings this season, getting their hands on some of these might be a great first step to take.
