These are light and minimal clip-in pedals.
All Crankbrothers clip-in pedal systems contain two pedals (one left pedal, one right pedal), one pair of cleats with mounting hardware, and one Crankbrothers icon sticker. Some models of these clip-in pedals come with traction pads for customization.
Most Crankbrothers clip-in pedals come with their 6-degree float, Standard Release cleats. The Candy 1, Eggbeater 1, and Double Shot 1 pedals come with Easy Release cleats instead, with a smaller release angle required to unclip but still featuring 6 degrees of float.
Float refers to the amount of rotational free play while clipped-in, whereas Release Angle refers to the angle of rotation of the cleat required to completely exit from the pedal, i.e., "unclip".
All standard bicycle pedal spindles are threaded specifically for either the left or right side of your bike, including these. It's important to double check you're installing the correct pedal to the matching crank arm to avoid damage. A close inspection of the flange of the pedal spindle will indicate either Left side (with a grooved flange) or Right side (with a flat flange).
You'll need an 8mm hex wrench and bike grease for proper installation of your pedals. A seasonal re-grease of the internal components is recommended to keep things running smoothly. Refresh kits with new bearings, seals, and hardware are also offered when a full overhaul is desired. Avoid using a pressure washer at close distances to clean your pedals, as water could get past the external seals and displace the grease your pedals need to spin freely.
SPD cleats will not work with these pedals. While Crankbrothers shoes featuring MATCH Technology are recommended for an optimized setup, any MTB or Gravel shoes which feature a recessed two-hole cleat mounting box are compatible with this pedal system. With third-party footwear, it may be necessary to use additional shims or traction pads to fine-tune the shoe-to-pedal interface. You can even adapt a three-hole road shoe to be compatible with Eggbeater or Candy pedals with the use of an adapter kit.
