pedal questions... Crank Brothers Quattro SL or Ti

[RolliePollie]

I'd check that one carefully - if they are "Quattro cleats" they use a 3 hole bolt pattern (I have both types of Crank Bros pedals, Quattros and Candys) The cleats for Candys, eggbeaters, and the other mt bike/downhill style pedals are 2 hole. Unless the reseller is taking apart the factory packed boxes I would think they should be the cleats that match the pedals. I'd tend to think that the web site has incorrect infomation and I'd say defihnitely call them and clarify before you order.

The cleats are totally cross compatible - you can use the mt bike cleats with the road pedals and vice/versa - but you do need to make sure they will fit on your shoes.

I love my Quattros! But mine came with 2-bolt cleats and I just bought replacement cleats and they are also 2-bolt. I think you have to buy a 3-hole adapter if you need the 3-bolt pattern. But maybe they've changed this on this year's Quattros. Mine are a year old so I'm not sure. Crankbrothers website has pictures and specs so you could check there to be sure.

Anyway, I have the SL's and they seem to be holding up quite well after about 2,500 miles. I believe I picked mine up for about $75 on Nashbar or Performance Bike...can't remember for sure! I think you'll be very happy with these pedals. They are easy to clip in and out of and the large pedal platform feels very stable. Plus I think they are cool looking!

Just ordered the quattro ti's! I was considering the sl's but after I added in the cost of the cleats for those I only had to pay about $15 more for the ti model. The store confirmed that the ti's come with the two hole bolt pattern. Also ordered a nice wheelset this evening. I can't wait until all of it comes in!

Thanks for all your responses, I found them very helpful. If there are any new riders in my area I'd love to go for a ride although I'm still doing fairly low mileage....
