Product Information
Full details
The Crankbrothers Candy 1 pedals are designed for mountain bikers seeking a balance between lightweight performance and versatile utility. Perfect for trail riding and cyclocross, these pedals feature a durable composite body and signature 4-sided entry system for efficient mud shedding and reliable engagement. While they offer excellent customizability for your riding style, users should note that the composite build prioritizes weight savings over the extreme impact resistance of higher-end aluminum models.

FAQs
Are these pedals compatible with all mountain bike shoes?
Yes, these pedals are compatible with standard 2-bolt MTB SPD-style shoe patterns.
Can I adjust the release tension?
While the Candy 1 does not have a traditional tension screw, you can adjust the release angle by swapping the position of the left and right cleats.
What is the weight of the pedals?
The Candy 1 pedals weigh 294 grams per pair.
Are these suitable for road cycling?
While they can be used on road bikes, they are optimized for mountain biking and trail conditions.
How often should I service the bearings?
It is recommended to inspect and service the bearings once per season, or more frequently if you ride regularly in very wet or muddy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Pedal feels difficult to engage
Check that your cleats are clean and free of debris. Use the provided shims under the cleats to adjust the shoe/pedal interface height.
Excessive play in the pedal spindle
The bearing system may require service or the internal nut may need to be tightened. If the issue persists, replace the internal bearing and seal kit.
Cleat releases prematurely
Check for excessive wear on the brass cleat. Brass is a softer metal and will wear over time, requiring periodic replacement to maintain a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard 8mm hex wrench. When installing, ensure the pedals are threaded correctly into the crank arms to avoid damage. The Candy 1 is designed specifically for mountain biking (MTB) applications and includes premium brass cleats with shims to help you fine-tune the interface between your shoe and pedal. For maintenance, the pedals are fully serviceable. Periodically check the bearings for play and ensure the seals are free of excessive grit. Re-greasing the spindle assembly annually will keep your rotation smooth and prolong the life of the internal components.
