  1. I have a set of Crank Brothers Candy 1s, and the bearing on one of them has failed. This has happened a couple of times before and I’ve got rebuild kits and just replaced the inners. Frustrating, but no problem. This time, however, I can’t get the outer bearing race out of the plastic pedal body. I’m damaging the plastic threads trying to use a screwdriver and other things to pry it out. Any suggestions? Is it possible to push out the sleeve that the spring and wings sit on? If I can get this out then maybe I can find something the right diameter to knock out the bearing race from the inboard side. Are current Crank Brothers pedals still using this same basic internal design? It seems a bit ridiculous to me that that tiny little cartridge bearing is the only thing holding the pedal together, and when it fails (which, as I said, has happened several times to me) you have to ride home with the pedal sliding off the axle. I love the external design and wing system of my Candys (I have a set of 3s as well), but I’m seriously considering moving over to Shimano DX or similar. How does their bearing system compare? Is there at least something that’ll hold the pedal together if the bearings wear or fail? Are the cleats more hard-wearing than the Crank Brothers ones, which seem a little soft to me?
  2. A couple months ago I purchased a set of crank brothers Candy 2 pedals, to replace my old candy 1's that came on my bike. Now although they not the top of the range they retail for R1399 incl cleats which isn't cheap. After many rides in good and bad weather, they were not sounding to great do I ventured to disassemble clean and grease. After getting the one pedal apart and cleaned and back together, it's impossible to get that plastic end cap back on (after struggling for an hour). Out of frustration I just went onto the other pedal (saving the original pedals end cap assembly for last), I was not able to even remove the end cap on the other pedal it just started stripping. Now I sit with and serviced pedal missing a plastic end cap that will not thread back on, and a 70% stripped end cap on a pedal that is not serviced. Did anyone else experience this? Does anyone know if there is a place to get metal end caps? I'm stuck and annoyed....
  3. It seems there are pros and cons to both of these systems. But which are the best to live with day to day, easiest to use and clean and overall better and more reliable performance. I'm upgrading to a new bike and considering upgrading from Shimano SPD pedals to Egg beaters. Advice?
  4. Hey guys I have this Most FP carbon saddle (a rebranded Selle Italia) and want to pair it with a Crank Brothers seatpost (shown below). Will they work together? http://www.aeobicycle.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1742 http://www.aeobicycle.com/images/MOST_Panther_FP_Carbon_Saddle.jpg http://www.crankbrothers.com/seatposts_cobalt11.php http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/bikes-and-gear/components/seat-post-or-seat-pin/1291303557735-11612l3qyexor-399-80.jpg
