Crank bro's. pedals
Rating:
The Good
Look cool,great grip.
The Bad
Constantly loose parts and small allen bolts that strip if you look at them wrong.
Overall Review:

Every other CB product Ive own from pumps to wheel sets have been awsome.These on the other hand didnt live up to the hype/price tag.

Not that Great

The Good
Can customize the look to match your frame
The Bad
no concave, heavy, need too many pins to gain traction
Overall Review:
The pedals look nice and are though but the fact that there is no concave makes no sense. It makes for getting consistent grip hard and sometimes sketchy.

Crank Bros. always stand behind their product and have always had excellent service.
The Bad
Thick, overpriced, grip is lacking, gimmicky plates, and weight.
Overall Review:
5.10's can make a crappy pedal better but the question is should they? No, just buy a lower profile pedal with better grip from the get go. They could lose a bit of weight if they didn't stick to their guns about the gimmicky plates.

I have run Deity, Atomlab, DMR, Kona, Shimano, VP, Spank, Eastern, Odsy, Truvativ, and more. I would run anything else before these.

Hugely adjustable, massively grippy, bearings last forever and look great!
The Bad
Nope nothing nada
Overall Review:
By far the best pedal I have ever owned! The grip level is fully adjustable by changing both the pin size and placement. The bearings are super smooth and last forever. For those saying the bearings don't last, have you tried using the grease port!? After all a bearing with no grease ain't gonna last too long is it?

Worst pedals I've had!
Rating:
The Good
Errr colours
The Bad
Bearings wore out quicker than any pedals I've had before. Axles constantly became loose (nearly every ride) and eventually after about 3 months would not tighten up. Grip from the platform was also poor compared to the pedals i have on my other bikes possibley due to the steped design.
Overall Review:
Do not buy a set of these pedals. I have DX flats, Burgtec penthouse flats and DMR Vaults these are all far superior to the Crank Brothers and are a simalar price and far more durable and much grippier.

Average at best...
Rating:
The Good
Aside from the bearings, they certainly seem to be pretty durable. The colored plates let you pimp your ride, too.
The Bad
Poor grip compared to many other flat pedals. Bearings were shot after a single season of abuse. Thick profile.
Overall Review:
For a flat pedal, they are average at best. Nothing spectacular and nothing drastically wrong with them. Without fivetens, though, you might be wishing for more traction...

Awesomest pedals
Rating:
The Good
Durable, no slipping and look awesome
The Bad
Little pricey to buy after market
Overall Review:
Looks like some mixed reviews about these pedals. They came stock on my bike and in my opinion these are the best pedals I have ridden. Super durable and my feet never slip off. Really happy with them!!!

- looks
- good platform for your foot when they stay together
The Bad
- weight
- pedals have a chance to come apart on the trail (and they do)
- not slender
- way overpriced
Overall Review:
Just a swing and a miss. I had a piece of my pedal come off at the local dirt jumps. Luckily, I was able to reassemble them and donate them to a buddy... the same thing happened to him. I know one local pro from Northstar who had his pedal come apart during a race run (which effected his time negatively, of course). And I've heard a lot of other people having the same gripe as me. No pedal should be built this way... it just doesn't make sense.

I personally like Atomlab pimplite pedals on my rigs. Those are rock solid in every aspect.

Flashy enough.
Rating:
The Good
Unique look, easy to switch up traction. Great customer service from Crank Brothers.
The Bad
Heavy, thick, plates come loose far too often. Bearings wore at an extremely uneven rate which mystifies the hell out of me.
Overall Review:
I tried really hard to like this pedal, Crank Brothers certainly stands behind it, but ultimately it's really let down by the gimmicky plates - they add a lot of weight, hassle, and detract from durability.

great pedal
Rating:
The Good
they are very durable
they look great
stiff and strong spindle
fully sealed
they are customizable
feel good- wide and big platform with concavity
fully rebuildable with rebuild kits available
The Bad
the pins are somewhat cheap and get crushed. a bit heavy and large, but its a solid durable pedal.
Overall Review:
these are a great pedal and if something does go wrong crankbrothers has an awesome 2 year warranty.

Feel great grip is awesome, no issues with the sealed bearings. I have been in a few diggers ad banged them on some rocks and scratched them up but nothing has come lose. I found to make sure the allen key bolts for the plats a tight and lock tight 'ed. I have two bikes and have them on both. I like the plate changing to get the peddle to match whatever bike you have
The Bad
I don't have any really yet...
Overall Review:
I am not saying they are the be all end all of peddles but i have two sets on two different bikes and I love them... don't mean you will. And over some time I am sure I will run into problems but after a few years with them no big issues yet

Not worth the price
Rating:
The Good
Good concave shape. Very good traction with the set screws
The Bad
Not as durable as it should be for the price. The removable plates are unnecessary. Profile could be slimmer.
Overall Review:
I love the shape and traction on the 50/50's but they are not bomb proof. There are too many moving parts. I would not buy again.

half good half bad

The Good
wide, solid platform, lots of pin placement, very comfortable
The Bad
maintenance, i had to rebuild mine within 3 months of riding them. The plates and pedal get beat up and more difficult to change
Overall Review:
not my favorite pedal ever but a good solid pedal thats easy to maintain when needed

3.8 / 5

If God made pedals...

super durable and they last forever. i have had mine for about 3 1/2 years and they have worked perfectly good after much bike abuse. these pedals have lasted me through 2 bikes and not one problem, but...
The Bad
i just broke off the pedal all the way through when i noticed it wasnt feeling right under my foot.

THE ONLY THING BAD ABOUT THESE PEDALS are the cone pins, and the little allen bolts that hold the removable plates. I replaced those cone pins with regular cylindrical ones
Overall Review:
4.8/5
