Product Information
Full details
The Crankbrothers Candy 3 pedals are designed for mountain bikers, cyclocross racers, and daily commuters who prioritize versatility and reliable performance in adverse conditions. Featuring a robust 4-sided entry system and a protective cage, these pedals provide excellent mud-shedding capabilities and consistent clipping action; however, riders transitioning from standard platform pedals may require a brief adjustment period to master the specific tension and release feel of the unique wing system.

FAQs
Are the Candy 3 pedals compatible with Shimano SPD cleats?
No, the Candy 3 pedals use the proprietary Crankbrothers cleat system.
How much float do these pedals have?
The float is determined by the included premium brass cleats, generally offering 6 degrees of float.
Are these pedals suitable for road biking?
While designed for MTB and cyclocross, they are perfectly functional for commuting or road riding if you prefer a mountain-style cleat system.
Can I service the bearings myself?
Yes, the Candy 3 is designed to be fully user-serviceable with standard tools and available service kits.
Do the pedals come with cleats?
Yes, a set of premium brass cleats and necessary mounting hardware/shims are included in the box.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty clipping in
Check the cleat position on your shoe and ensure the pedal wings are not obstructed by excessive mud or grit.
Excessive play between shoe and pedal
Install the included traction pads to bridge the gap between the shoe sole and the pedal body.
Pedal rotation feels gritty
The bearings may need cleaning and fresh grease; inspect the seals for wear and replace if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard hex wrench. Ensure the pedals are greased at the spindle threads before installation to prevent seizing. When setting up your cleats, use the included shims if you find that your shoes have excessive play or are difficult to disengage from the pedals.
Because these pedals are fully serviceable, it is recommended to clean and re-grease the internal bearings at least once a year, or more frequently if you regularly ride in extreme wet conditions. Always verify that your shoe soles are compatible with recessed cleat mounting points before attempting installation.
