Crankbrothers Premium Cleats

The Heart of the Crankbrothers Engagement System

The Premium Cleats are the benchmark replacement for the entire ecosystem of Crankbrothers pedals, including the Eggbeater, Candy, Mallet, and Mad series. Crafted from high-strength premium brass, these cleats are specifically engineered to provide smooth engagement and superior durability while protecting the pedal’s stainless steel wings from excessive wear.

Thanks to their symmetrical design and the included shims, they allow for precise customization of the release angle and entry ease, making them perfect for technical trail riders and gravel racers alike who seek a natural range of motion.

Key Features

• Premium Brass Material: Brass is chosen because it is slightly softer than the steel used in the pedals; this ensures the cleat wears down over time rather than the pedal mechanism, preserving your expensive components.

• 6° Angular Float: Allows your foot to move naturally during the pedal stroke, significantly reducing stress on the knees.

• Customizable Release Angle: Depending on how they are installed (swapping the right and left cleat), you can set a release angle of either 15° (quicker exit) or 20° (for maximum retention in technical terrain).

• 2.2mm Lateral Adjustment: Enables you to fine-tune your foot position relative to the crankarm for perfect biomechanical alignment.

• Full Shim Kit Included: Comes with plastic spacers to compensate for tread depth, ensuring an optimal interface between the shoe and the pedal.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Original Premium Cleats?

• Superior Fluidity: Only original cleats guarantee that crisp "click" and the effortless release that made Crankbrothers pedals famous.

• Pedal Protection: Using non-original or harder metal cleats can irreparably damage the spring wings of your Eggbeater or Candy pedals.

• Total Versatility: Ideal for every discipline, from Cross-Country and Downhill to modern Gravel adventures.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should I replace them?

  As they are made of brass, they naturally wear down with use and walking. We recommend replacement when the engagement feels too "loose" or if releasing becomes inconsistent (typically every 3,000–5,000 km depending on conditions).

• Can I mount these on road shoes?

  Only if the shoes have a 2-bolt MTB mounting pattern. For 3-hole road shoes, a specific adapter is required.

• Are the shims necessary?

  It depends on your shoe's tread. If you feel resistance when clipping in or out, adding a shim lifts the cleat and usually solves the issue.
