The Crank Brothers Eggbeater 1 pedal provides race quality performance with Crank Brother's four-sided entry and minimalism. The eggbeater 1 pedal is an ultra-lightweight clipless pedal designed for cross-country and cyclo-cross use.
The design for the original crank brothers pedal began out of frustration. The founders of crank brothers, Carl and Frank, were tired of getting stuck in mud-covered pedals with no way in or out. They realised that existing pedals were too complicated.
It started with a simple question: what is the best way to attach a shoe to a crank? To answer this question, Carl and Frank created a system with only two moving parts hinging on a spring. This system became known as the eggbeater pedal, and later it was adapted into the candy pedal.
