anyone use Crank Bros. pedals?

Originally posted by SadieKate Regarding some of the difficulty getting into the pedal -- have you attached your shoe to the pedal and turned it over to see if the sole and the pedal are touching? This is not uncommon with small shoes, but even my size 11 hubby sometimes must trim his soles.
Get out the old Dremel tool, do some careful carving and presto!

Hi SadieKate -
I actually tried trimming a little bit off the sole of the one shoe that was giving me trouble while I was still using the Candy pedals (the ones with the platform), which helped a little, but then when I found the EggBeaters on sale and gave them a try, the problem magically disappeared.
OTOH, my husband has not had any problems at all with Candy pedals. I must have a mutant shoe or something.

I really likes my Eggbeaters!

i ride Eggbeaters and now love them...i wasn't totally sold from the beginning. i was having trouble clipping in, but since have adjusted my cleats and it's perfect now.

the Candies on the other hand....my friend had them & hated them. Mainly because she didn't test them with her shoes. She had to shave the bottom treads of her shoes down in order for them to engage correctly.

I believe it was Mountain biking Mag where i read that tons of pro riders are switching to the eggbeaters. it says a bunch about their performance and the weight of the eggbeaters makes them attractive as well.

I have Candys Eggbeaters on my touring bike and mtb and love them. I had to shave down the sole of my shoes first, like several people have said, since I have clunky (like hiking shoes) mtb shoes. Once I did that, no more clipping in problems, and I really like everything about these pedals - very easy to use, and the colors are nice too!
