Crankbrothers Tread Contact Sleeves

Optimize the Connection: Stability and Protection for Your Candy Pedals

The Tread Contact Sleeves are an ingenious solution from Crankbrothers to solve one of the most common issues in off-road cycling: the "play" or gap between the shoe sole and the pedal body. Specifically designed for the Candy series (1, 2, 3, 7, 11), these durable sleeves allow you to micrometrically adjust the thickness of the pedal body.

Using the correct sleeves ensures that your shoe sole rests perfectly on the pedal, eliminating unwanted movement and drastically improving power transfer and ride feel, while simultaneously protecting the pedal body from frictional wear.

Key Features

• Customized Fitting: The kit includes different heights (thicknesses) to perfectly adapt to any type of sole tread, from thin XC racing lugs to aggressive Trail soles.

• Elimination of Play: Reduces or eliminates the "empty" lateral and vertical movement of the shoe when clipped in, providing a stable sensation similar to a flat pedal with all the benefits of being clipped in.

• Pedal Body Protection: Acts as a shield between the sole and the aluminum or composite body of the Candy pedal, preventing scratches and premature wear.

• High-Grip Material: Made of a durable technopolymer/rubber material that ensures a secure contact surface even in muddy or wet conditions.

• Simple Installation: They slide directly onto the pedal body once the axle is removed, allowing for quick maintenance and immediate customization.

Technical Specifications

Why Use Tread Contact Sleeves?

• Maximum Efficiency: A firm foot on the pedal means less energy wasted and a smoother, more powerful pedal stroke.

• Technical Confidence: Improves bike control on steep, rocky sections where foot stability is crucial for maintaining your line.

• Shoe Versatility: If you switch shoe brands or models, you don't need new pedals; simply swap or adjust the "sleeve" to find the perfect fit again.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I know which thickness to use?

  Once the shoe is clipped in, there should be no visible gap or rocking between the sole and the pedal body. If the shoe "wiggles," you need a thicker sleeve.

• Are they compatible with Eggbeater pedals?

  No, these sleeves are designed exclusively for the Candy pedal platform, which features an external supporting body.

• Does the kit include sleeves for both pedals?

  Yes, the package contains a full set to cover the pair (left and right pedals).
