Crank Brothers Eggbeater 1 Black XC/MTB Pedal

Welcome to an era where you have a choice to decide what pedals you'd like to use for your sick little bike. Back in the day they didn't really have a great design that kept you clipped in, flicked mud like a washing machine, and well... you were just screwed. You might as well have dunked your bike in concrete and looked at it like it were art in a museum. These pedals are called Eggbeater for a reason, which features a wide-open structure that not only flicks muck, but also gives you twice as many entry points than most other pedals on the market.

Scramble some EGGS

Bushing bearings keep the Eggbeater 1 Pedals spinning smoothly and bring a large improvement compared to many others in the market. When you find out your pedals aren't indestructible and you need an overhaul, you can put your mind at ease knowing the fact that no other pedals are as easy to service quite like Crank Brothers'. The pedals include protective shims and all the hardware required for installation. Crank Brothers re-designed their entire pedal lineup in pursuit of even better functionality and durability. The Crank Brothers Eggbeater 1's body and wings are made of stainless steel to withhold a huge tolerance of stress. The Crank Brothers Eggbeater 1's spindle is forged from chromoly steel, meaning that anyone can use these as there's no weight limit. As patented, the four-sided entry, mentioned above, places the Eggbeaters among the easiest pedal systems to clip in and out of.

Crank your History

Crank Brothers started in 1997 with the Speed Lever, a card table and a trip to Interbike™s basement. The story is told that their friends constantly got cofounders™ Carl Winefordner and Frank Hermansen names mixed up, so they combined them and just called them œcrank. Hence the first part of the brand name. They met while working for a scuba diving products company. They enjoyed working together and eventually both tired of the corporate culture at a large company. They quit and did freelance snorkel and related product design for a while, but cycling was the passion. Frank is the designer, Carl™s the engineer. The Speed Lever was inspired by the tools used for car tires, and the idea was born during a night ride when they had to change a tire. Like all of their products, they start out as a solution to a problem they encountered and couldn™t solve with existing products.
