How to Take Off Eggbeater Pedals
Manufactured by Crank Brothers, Eggbeater bicycle pedals closely resemble their namesake. The pedal works in conjunction with a compatible cleat fitted to the bottom of a cycling-specific shoe. The pedal body features four possible entry points for the cleat. The cleat and shoe attach to the pedal, allowing the foot greater contact with the pedal platform. Eggbeater pedals can be removed for cleaning, adjustment or replacement.
