De Crankbrothers Eggbeater 3 pedalen zijn lichtgewicht en duurzaam doordat dit pedaal gemaakt is met zeer degelijke materialen. De as is gemaakt van 435 Chromoly-staal, en de body en veer zijn ook gemaakt van gesmeed RVS. Dit zorgt er voor dat dit pedaal ondanks zijn beperkte omvang ontzettend stevig is. As far as I’m concerned, weight is a big deal. The more you ride, the more you appreciate lightweight components. If you’re going for a casual 15 minute ride, then don’t sweat it. But if you’re planning something more epic, lightweight is crucial. When these pedals first came out there was some concern about durability. I’m pretty sure Crank Brothers has resolved any major issues. My Eggbeaters have performed superbly.

These flats are not overly weighty, and it will be hard to find better value for money when it comes to durability and performance. Additionally, they have fantastic grip and an adjustable height, for which you will need an Allen wrench in a CX race. PROS If you're serious about bicycling as a sport, sooner or later you're going to get yourself a pair of clip-in pedals. These pedals are so small that they give you more power and less resistance for your pedaling efforts.

To my knowledge, no manufacturer makes flat pedals for cyclocross, but even so, some riders prefer platform pedals when it comes to CX racing.

If you are riding normally and the pedal breaks spontaneously, then yes, you have a legit warranty claim. If your bike has Eggbeaters, can you ride with regular tennis shoes?Taking this advice has led to a significant decrease in my step-off distance from the barrier and a substantial increase in my dismount speed.

One negative of not having a platform is that there’s nothing to guide your foot onto the right position on the cleat. For me that was odd at first, but something that became more instinctive over time.Regular double-sided SPD pedals without a cage are your best choice when it comes to CX races. Cages tend to clog on muddy terrain, and their sharp edges are dangerous. I am not a fan of single-sided SPDs under any circumstances. Conclusion
