Crank Brothers Smarty Pedal - 2008

2008 Model No Longer Available

Crank Brothers Smarty Pedal - 2008 BCS

Item # CRN0076

The Smarty Pedal offers commuters, recreational riders, and the financially frugal access to Crank Brothers’ famous Eggbeater technology. The Smarty is a small-platform pedal like the Candy and Quattro models, with a composite body, chromoly steel spindle, and carbon steel wings to cut down on cost. It’s perfect for occasional riders who only need a base-level pedal, or for riders who want to try out the clipless thing without dropping a ton of cash.

Bottom Line:

The Smarty saves you dough. Genius!

Lasted a month before the bearings started squawking, then I bent part of the cage. Oh how I wish Crank brothers could re-make the first edition pedals again, those were bombproof.

Decent Pedal

These pedals are definitely adequate for the job. The low price is very appealing, but i would recommend to spend just a little more and get the candy model from crank brothers. Those have better bearings and will last you longer. I rode on the smarty pedals for only 4 months before the bearings went out- I ride a lot though and may have just had some bad luck with a set of bearings. chainlove.com puts them up for $19.95 every once and a while. Check it out..

Great Pedal, Great Value

For $45 bucks, you can't beat it. Light weight and much easier to clip into than an SPD pedal when your shoes are muddy. The small platform allows you to a little bit of comfort when riding on sketchy terrain or when riding with normal shoes. If you haven't made the crossover to Crankborthers yet, this is a good pedal to try out.
