Cleat adjustment for Crank Brothers pedals
We show you how to correctly fit and adjust the cleats for the shoes on Crank Brothers pedals.

Eggbeater, Candy and Mallet are the names of the popular MTB pedals from Crank Brothers. Depending on how you mount the cleats on the sole, the lateral freedom of movement and the release angle of the clipless pedals differ. We show you how to mount the cleats.

The enclosed plastic plates provide more space between the pedal and the sole of the shoe for easier unclicking.Photo: Georg Grieshaber Too much contact with the pedal?

It is labelled with an oval on both sides and reduces the play on the pedal.Photo: Georg Grieshaber 0° release angle Crank Brothers recently introduced a cleat with a 0° release angle.

Stefan Frey is from Lower Bavaria and loves the mossy, loamy trails of the Bavarian Forest as much as the rugged rock of the Dolomites. For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
