The Crank Brothers Eggbeater 2 XC Pedals are ideal for cross-country mountain bikers and cyclo-cross riders looking for a lightweight, minimalist platform that excels in mud. Their signature four-sided entry system ensures quick engagement, providing a reliable connection in messy trail conditions, though riders accustomed to traditional platforms may need a short period to adjust to the lack of a pedal body.

Yes, they are compatible with any mountain bike shoe that uses a standard 2-bolt SPD-style cleat mounting pattern.
The 15-degree angle offers a quicker, easier release, while the 20-degree setting requires more heel rotation, which is often preferred by riders who want to avoid accidental unclips during intense riding.
While they can be used on road bikes, they are specifically optimized for the mud-clearing needs of XC and CX mountain biking.
Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but it is recommended to inspect them once a year or if you notice any grinding sensation.
Yes, a set of Crank Brothers premium brass cleats is included in the box.
Verify if your cleats are worn or if the release angle is set to 20 degrees instead of 15; ensure the pedal mechanism is free of debris.
Check if the internal bearings or bushings need a service; contact a bike shop to use a Crank Brothers refresh kit.
Ensure the pedal is tightened to the correct torque specification on the crank arm using an 8mm hex key.
Installation requires a standard 8mm hex wrench. Always ensure a small amount of grease is applied to the pedal threads before installing them into your crank arms to prevent seizing. The included brass cleats are compatible with all 2-hole mountain bike shoes.
To maintain the pedals, clean them periodically with a bike-safe degreaser. Because they are fully serviceable, you can replace the cartridge bearings and internal bushings if you notice play or roughness after extended use. Regularly inspect the brass cleats for wear, as they will eventually soften and may need replacement to maintain a crisp release feel.
