Crankbrothers Mallet 3 Pedals - Dual Sided Clipless Platform Aluminum 9/16 Raw /BLK/Blue

Crankbrothers, a brand from Laguna Beach, is passionate about creating mountain bike components with innovative and functional designs. They call it disruptive design. The Crankbrothers Mallet 3 Pedals are a prime example. These pedals offer excellent durability and a large platform, allowing you to push your limits on the trail. Slightly larger than average trail pedals, the Mallet 3 is perfect for gravity enthusiasts and also great for beginners learning to clip in and out. The two - piece aluminum - composite platform can withstand heavy use. The Egg Beater retention system from Crank Brothers makes it incredibly easy to clip in, with an adjustable release of 15 to 20 degrees for quick clip - outs on switchbacks. The bearings, including Igus internals and enduro cartridge external bearings, are housed in a lightweight and durable aluminum inner body and double - sealed to prevent mud, rocks, and grit from affecting smooth spinning. There are six adjustable traction pins on each side for better grip, especially in tricky trail sections.

Using these pedals is easy. Just step onto the platform and clip in with the Egg Beater system. For quick clip - outs, adjust the release angle to your preference, which ranges from 15 to 20 degrees. When riding, the six adjustable pins on each side provide extra grip, so you can feel confident on different trails. As for maintenance, keep the pedals clean. After a muddy ride, wash them gently with water to remove dirt. Make sure the double - sealed bearings are free from mud and grit. Also, check the adjustable pins regularly to ensure they are tightened properly. If you notice any issues with the spinning or clipping function, it might be time to have them serviced.
