Pretty 'naar' withEggbeater cleat bolts!

We have always used SPD pedals and never had an issue but recently LittleBen has changed to Eggbeaters. He enjoys them and had no issues up till today (besides the training shoe issue referred to later) .....

 

I find that the bolts supplied with them are just to short and it is a mission to get them fitted. They just make it on his Specialized shoes and today a bolt pulled out as it did not have enough 'bite' - result is that his race was spoilt OuchOuchAngryAngryDeadDead

 

He has another pair of training shoes, can't remember the make and can't be bothered to look cause I'm not impressed, where the cleats can't even be fitted at all as the bolts don't reach!

 

Might try some SPD bolts if they are longer some time but ja anyone else experienced this?

Usally egg beaters are supplied with two sets of bolts long and short, so in total 8 bolts should be in the box

 

but I must admit short bolts are serioulsly annoying and can be a major headache, my personal experirnce is that Shimano road cleat bolts are super short causing some issues

 

anyway good luck

You are correct Mecnic, The Crank Brothers pedals are supplied with 2 sets of screws = Long and short

Thanks Shamus, as I stated he is very happy with the pedals besides this little hick up!

 

Is it possible to get 2 sets  (i.e. for 2 sets of shoes ....) of the long ones please sir?
