Thanks Andrew! I had someone help me adjust the cleats, and that made it easier to clip in. But it still takes a lot of effort to clip out and the twisting is tough on my knees. Not to mention that I’ve not been able to get out in time and fallen over - not because I forgot I was clipped in but I couldn’t get out! I guess it just takes awhile to get used to - but I find that I often avoid clipping in altogether since it can be tough to get back out. I hope it keeps gets easier over time like you said cause I really like the benes…

Oh and Raya, the spring gets softer as you use it. Of course you posted that in MARCH…but I’ll still reply.

I actually put these pedals on my Marin County Road bike…they are a little heavier than I was “supposed” to put on…but they are easy to use, easy to get OUT of (which is great when i ride in traffic-live in philadelphia, pa) and easy to walk around in for those nice off the cycle moments. i suppose I would get better performance with a standard road bike pedal? Im not sold on changing yet….but im sure sold on these. Thinking about getting another set for my mt bike/commuting bike. Either that or getting the upgraded eggbeaters for my road bike and putting these on the mt bike.

Help! I just bought these as my first clipless pedals and I can’t clip into them. I can get the first part of the cleat in, but the back just wont clip in…
Any advice?! Thanks

Hey guys!
I got these pedals with my Jamis Dakar XLT 3.0 and I have to say these have to be teh best pedal for the money if not the best pedal peroid. the only problems that I have experanced it that at times it is difficult to clip out. I have fallen over a couple of time at a dead stop because i couldn’t get my foot uclipped. Man is that embarrising!! and for Big bang racer.I have a pair of sidi domanator 5’s and I hade to shave some of the rubber part on the sole just to get the cleat on.

“Hi Guys!

I was wondering if there was any shoe restriction to use such a pedal since there seem to be a very little space between the clip and the body of the pedal itself� Anyway, nice product, colors and shapes are much more �trendy� than Time pedals for instance”

Not really much of a shoe restriction. If your shoes have trouble with the cleat,( like mine did, Specialized mtb sport shoe) Then I just put one of the included shims on the cleat and it works just fine. I have heard of people having to shave a little off their shoe though. Mostly, you will not have any problems. I love these pedals. I have the candy SL. GET THEM, AND GET THEM QUICK!
cheers

i’ve got a trek liquid with these pedals, and they do everything from drops to climbs. they might be weighty, but i’ve got 130mm of travel in the rear and a nother 150 up front so i cant really feel it. these pedals are great, they release easily and clip on easily. i have eggbeaters on my ss as well. worth every penny. get em’ (+ and they look cool)

Thats awesome man. I recomend them to everyone. I learned how to ride clipless with the Candy C’s and they made life so much easier. There were no problems getting unclipped quickly. I love em!

I have used the Candy C pedals for a year now and they are awesome! It took me buying and trying four sets of pedals to find the perfect ones but these are it — for all the reasons mentioned in the article!
