Engage Option 1:

Step down forwards into the pedal.

Engage Option 2:

Step down with the cleat behind the pedal. Then shimmy forwards and

the pedal will flip over and engage.

PEDAL WILL FLIP OVER

AND ENGAGE.

PEDAL WILL FLIP OVER

.0, AND ENGAGE.

Step One: Position the cleat on the shoe and instel! 4mm Allen screws through the cleat

and into the meta) plate in your shoe. Some road shoes require and adapter. Tighten the

screws securely (40-50 in-Ib (4-5 Nm)). If the screw head is damaqed, then you probably

tiohtened them too much. Note: the cleats can rotate a few degrees each direction in order

to allow you to customize the right position for you. You will probably need to reposition the

cleats a few times in order to have them in the best position.

Step Two: Place one foot on smooth level ground and engage your other shoe into the

pedal. Rotate your foot back and forth a few times to feel the free float. For most people,

the best position for the cleat allows you to pedal comfortably without having to twist against

the spring tension. In other words, when the cleat is properly positioned, you will feel a few

degrees of rotational motion without feeling spring tension. Twist your foot outward to

disengage from the pedal.

Step Three. If the cleat is not in the correct position, loosen both screws and twist the cleat

slightly. Re-tighten the screws securely and repeat Step Two.

SPRING TENSION

With conventional pedals, if the spring tension is set low, then it's easy to unclip but also

easy to accidentally pull out of the pedal. If the spring tension is set high, then you won't

accidentally pull out of the pedal but it's also very hard to clip in or out.

The unique patented Egg Beater design eliminates the need for spring tension adjustment.

Retention is not dependent on spring tension.

MUD

The Egg Beater is generally unaffected by mud and other organic matter. In extreme cases,

you may need to twist back and forth in order to engage (this will push particularly thick mud

through the pedal). Do not use pressurized water on the Egg Beater.

ENGAGING THE PEDALS

The Egg Beater gives you entry options that no other pedal can. With all these options, you

will need to put enough force to spread open the pedal. There will be an audible "click"

sound when the pedal is engaged. To verify you are engaged, pull slightly upwards.

Engage Option 3:

Step down with the cleat in front of the pedal. Then pull backwards and

the pedal will flip over and engage. Usually it is easiest to make the pedal flip over to

engage during the downward stroke while pedaling.

These techniques take some practice. Place one foot on smooth level ground and practice

engaging and disengaging from each pedal a number of times. Even if you are experienced

with clipless pedals, all clipless pedals take some practice to get used to. Get used to them

before going off-road or anywhere dangerous.

DISENGAGING FROM THE PEDALS

Release from the pedal is achieved by an outward twist of the heel. It is also possible to

release by twisting inwards but generally this only takes place during a crash. When you

want to disengage, always do so by twisting outward.

MAINTENANCE

Very little maintenance is required with Egg Beater pedals. In normal conditions, the

bearings are waterproof and all materials are rust-resistant. There is no need to lubricate

the exterior of the pedal. The pedals are generally self-cleaning and in most cases, dried

mud and dirt will fall off on their own.

Eventually the cleats will wear out and need to be replaced. Inspect the cleats regularly and

look for signs of wear. If you are inadvertently pulling out of the pedals (without twisting),

then there is a good chance that the cleats are worp' out. Another sign of wear is a feeling

that the pedal is sloppy. The cleats are made of brass which is softer than the stainless

steel mechanism. This is on purpose so that the cleats wear rather than the pedal.

If the pedal becomes loose or feels gritty when it turns, then the pedal needs to be rebuilt. It

is relatively easy to replace the bushing and cartridge balt bearing. The only tools required

are a 3mm Hex, small flat head screw driver, and a snap ring pliers. You'll also need some

high quality grease, and a rag. For more information, please contact your local retailer or

Crank Brothers. However, for most people, rebuilding will never be required because of the

high durability of the Egg Beater.
