What’s the difference between Crank Brothers Candy pedals?
The Crank Brothers Candy 1 offers the same great compromise in platform found on the Candy 7. It is smaller, and offers less clipping interference than the Mallet E, but offers a platform when you need it and is much easier to clip into than the Crank Brothers Egg Beater pedals.

Do SPD shoes work with Crank Brothers?
1. Crank Brothers pedals come with their proprietary cleats and cannot be used with SPD cleats. 2. If your shoes use a two-bolt cleat mounting system, you can install Crank Brothers cleats on them.
Do Crank Brothers cleats fit Shimano pedals?
As we have mentioned earlier, the Crank brothers are different from Shimano’s shape. Crank Brothers have shorter cleats, which is largely different from Shimano’s SPD system. The two different systems will not go together. With that being said, the Crank brother’s cleats are NOT compatible with Shimano’s pedals.
What type of cleats do Crank Brothers use?
However, if you like the shoes’ look but use other pedals, the Crank Brothers shoes use a standard cleat mounting pattern and are compatible with Shimano, HT, Time, and other pedals that use a two-bolt cleat. For the flat shoe, the design team turned their attention to rubber compound and lug shape.
How long do MTB cleats last?
Hannah also told us that Crankbrothers USA advises users to replace cleats after 300-500 hours of ride time, meaning for most of us riding for 3-4 hours a week we might need to replace cleats at about the 75 week or 18 month point if using 300hrs as a guide.

The Candy 2’s are an excellent set of pedals. The only reason I did not give them a 5/5 is due to their weight. I have a cyclocross bike, a fat-tire, and a high-end race/endurance bike. I wanted to use the same shoes/cleats to fit all three bikes.
