Crank Brothers Candy/Acid pedals

[Catrin]

I am actually just going to wait and not worry about this for now. The BMX pedals are going back on my mountain bike, and will get shin/knee guards for the clinic. I think I would need to be totally comfortable on the clipless pedals before I used them at the Clinic, and what I am hearing from the organizers is that it would be far better to not clip in. Whatever practice I get on the Jamis between now and then should be on the same pedals that I will use at the clinic.

I just think that is too much to learn at the same time on the mountain bike. My fitter will check out the new pedals I have to see if there is some mechanical problem with them - and I love my platform/SPD combo pedal so I know I can use SPD pedals. Just trying to save time, energy, and money. Perhaps I will go for it and try the Speedplays or Crank Brothers on my Gunnar as an experiment, but will wait to see if we can get this new pair of SPD pedals working properly before I do that. It just does not make sense that those pedals are THAT much more difficult over my other pedals - and I used my older shoes with the cleats that I use on the LHT so it isn't a "new cleat" issue.


Aggie, thanks for your experience with the Candy pedals - that is helpful information.
