CrankbrothersUnisex's Candy-1 Pedals

I swapped from Time Pedals to these and took a little while to warm to them. On the turbo trainer, they don't make much sense having four sides of entry, but outside they are fabulous. Very easy to use, with good release tension. Perfect for beginners or more advanced riders, with nice support for shoes that are not fully rigid.It is also possible to get a full rebuild kit including all bearings and bushings, which sadly SRAM (who now own Time Pedals) could not offer on my pedals, hence why I changed to these.

Light, good quality and great price. Long-term durability is perhaps questionable if you use off road, but for my road going adventures I don’t foresee a problem. The only weakness is perhaps the plastic screw-in bearing cover - but easily upgradeable to alloy on a pedal refurbishment (see Crank Bros servicing kit). The light weight and quality for the price trumps the more expensive but more durable alloy versions.

These are consistent, solid yet lightweight pedals. Once they've settled it, you can slot your cleats on from any angle, making finding the connection much easier. The mini platform, however, means you can pedal around without clicking on, say if you're hoping on and off frequently.

As a 20+ years SPD user I had become fed up of foot pain on longer rides and was recommended to try Crankbrothers by a friend. I can confirm they are easy to clip in, more supportive and look to be much easier to maintain. Add to that the usual excellent Amazon service and price and I can only highly recommend them.

These are great. Installed on my road bike so that I can continue using my existing shoes/cleats across all bikes.

Easy to use and pretty light. You can use with recessed cleats (on spd type shoes).

I quite like the extra support of the pedal body, and for riding in town I prefer the plastic body of the Candy 1 over the the aluminium of the Candy 2.

These will be the third pair I've purchased and I love them...
