Crank Brothers Eggbeater 3 Pedals, Black

This is my first set of Crank brothers pedals and I’m really impressed. They are so easy to use and look great too

La verdad son muy buenos pedales 100% recomiendo

Increíbles, no tengo palabras para describir su eficacia, calan y descalan sin ningún esfuerzo. A la hora de descalar no se siente que lleves puestas calas, ya que salen con mucha facilidad. Hay gente que dice que van muy duros, quizás es que no los engrasan o quizás no tengan la última versión, por lo menos, la versión 3 se salen los pies sin pensarlo cuando haces el gesto de quitar el pie del pedal. La holgura lateral de la que disponen, asegura que estés siempre en la posición más cómoda, evitando así un lesión de rodilla; y qué decir de las cuatro caras de calado, no tienes que preocuparte de la posición del pedal. Son increíbles, ninguna pega. Añadir, que hay gente que dice que necesita mantenimiento frente a los Shimano que no requieren mantenimiento, yo creo que es una afirmación errónea, a mi los pedales Shimano no me duran más de un año y medio saliendo una vez por semana, ya que la bici la tengo en la casa del pueblo y entre semana no la puedo coger; por lo tanto veo que la calidad de Shimano, a mi parecer, no es para echar cohetes, simplemente, son de usar y tirar, puesto que no se pueden reparar. Sin embargo, los pedales de Crankbrothers, se les puede cambiar cualquier pieza que se deteriore e incluso, es posible customizarlos, ayadiendoles una plataforma y convirtiéndolos en pedales mixtos. Me parecen unos pedales insuperables.

These are great pedals. After using Look Keos for 13 years, I did something heretical and put these on my road bike. I was tired of the occasional fumbling trying to click into the looks (the bottom of a Keo is like a bar of soap). I was extremely sick of walking around with the massive Keo cleat on the bottom of road shoes. My foot was at an uncomfortable angle, the soft plastic wears quickly, and they’re treacherous on smooth surfaces. I thought about Speedplays, but those would only solve the engagement point problem. They also have a big cleat and feedback from friends warned that they have too much play. I finally reached the point where I didn’t care what roadie purists thought and bought these pedals. My biggest concern was worrying if these would provide enough of a platform under my foot to keep it stable while pedaling. Happily, that is not a problem. Paired with Giro’s Privateer shoes they are perfectly stable. They come with shims, end cups, and a template so one can adjust them to match a wide variety of soles. The brass cleat is tiny and is tucked up between the tread of the shoes which completely eliminates the duck walk that I hated so much. Some people complain that it wears faster than steel but, compared to soft plastic, it lasts MUCH longer. I don’t worry about it at when I’m required to hop off the bike and refill a bottle or have a civilized lunch. The spring tension is enough that my foot doesn’t slop around with too much play. It stays straight and clicking in and out is dead simple. I’m sure these would be great for an XC or gravel/cross bike, but I absolutely love them on my road bike, regardless of what the duck walking road snobs think.

I do love these pedals as they're light and very good at shedding mud and are very easy to clip in. Having said that, I'm on to my 3rd pair now as when the body comes off the spindle (as in breaks), then it's game over. They do have a rebuild kit but it usually breaks due to the thread to hold the pedal body onto the spindle failing. The reviews I see that state they have used one pair for years, I simply don't believe (unless they're not riding real trails). These are great pedals but don't expect much more than a year of service from them, if that's too expensive for you, then stay away
