3.0 out of 5 stars
nice pedal for the price, August 1, 2008
This review is from: Crank Brothers Candy C Pedals (Misc.)
I bought these pedals to install on my Surly Long Haul Trucker. Familiar with the eggbeater platform, and crankbrothers' products, I was interested in finding something to match my setup on my other bikes. The construction of the egg beater platform part of this pedal is robust as usual, but the grey plastic housing, when dropped, gets banged up pretty bad. I have no doubt that this product will hold up over the next few years' worth of moderate touring and commuting, and that crankbrothers is a stand-up company when it comes to customer service. The cheap plastic housing is the only negative as far as I can tell on this product, but for $50 or so you can't beat having a quality clipless product. They feel as familiar as any crankbrothers eggbeater product and clip in and out very easily. I recommend this product as an "everyday", economical pedal. Reasonably priced, and you get what you pay for - quality with no extra fuzz.

I can't complain!, March 27, 2011
These are my 1st pair of clipless pedals and I really like them. They are easy to get in and out of once you get used to them which doesn't take long at all. I'm sure they are not the lightest or the most advanced but who cares? They get the job done and make a huge difference in your ride. (more than i thought before i bought them)

Mudproof, but take a little getting used too from Shimanos, June 10, 2010
I rolled shimano's on my mtbike before I got these. Candys have a lot of advantages. *They're easier to get in to. *No clogging up with Mud/Ice/etc. *You can pedal around the parking lot without having to throw on your bike shoes, which is useful when you're doing repairs/adjustments. If you really want to spice these up, grab a pair of aftermarket Titanium spindles and drop some grams. Cheapo upgrade that turns these into $300 pedals instantly. The only negative is that they can be a dog to get out of if you're used to shimano style clips. There is no brute force pulling out of them. The ONLY way out is by angling your foot 15-20 degrees. I felt like with my SPD's I could muscle my way out in an "Oh Crap" situation, but not so with the eggbeater design. Train your exit strategy before your find yourself in a poor situation.
