Hey leo,

Setup isn't super hard but compatibility with shoes can be somewhat tricky.
Crank brothers pedals work best when the sole doesn't catch on the pedal. Make
sure that the cleat is just over or slightly back from the ball of your foot.
You might goof around on an indoor trainer a bit before you go outside. These
and frogs are the easiest releasing pedal going. I prefer the more solid feel of
the Shimano spds but if you want easy release these are the way to go.

I doubt you would go with a mallet if you had a chance to ride a candy. The big
platform on the mallet hits rocks and roots. Think about ground clearance.

-Never buy any bike stuff online. Support you local shop! If you don't they
will not be there in the future. Think about what Home Depot has done to all
the small Hardware shops in the USA. They are all gone. Can you imagine if
all the shops go under and suddenly your only choice is to buy online??
At some point getting a deal feels great but building a relationship with your
LBS can really help out when you need them later on. If you are a good repeat
customer and you need a quick service or advice it will pay off. Find a shop
where everyone actually rides bikes. Give them your money!


-Your local shop can most likely be competitive if you ask.

-Wouldn't you rather support a local business anyway??

Just a thought.

(ok I own a shop)..

Hi All,
I am finally going to invest in some clipless pedals and I have a
question. How difficult is it to set these things up by yourself? In
otherwords is it worth it for me to save some $$ and buy them on-line
or should I just dish out the money and have the guy at the bike shop
help me? I am looking at the Cran Bros. Mallet C pedals and I'll buy a
decent shoe for $80.00- $100.00.

Thanks for your help,
Leo
