I rode without cleats 2 times, about 3 hours each time. In flat rides its ok, but in country tracks and downing stairs you can feel uncomfortable the springs of the cleats pushing in the foot **Q: Do these include cleats?** A: The cleats are in. **Q: In the pictures the red ones are the old version without the black pads and the black ones the new ones with the black pads. The black, have the pads?** A: don't know. I got the red ones. they're still great pedals. **Q: Can these be used with flats? It's not clear if this item supports dual action. I'd like to be able to unclip on sketchy sections of DH.** A: By Flats do you mean flat soled DH shoes? The pedals are for clipless shoes and work exceptionally well either clipped in or out. Due to the wide surface area if you unclip you can contact the pedal easily with your foot and throw in some pedal strokes before you clip in again. . I run them wearing a pair of Five Ten Impact VXi shoes and they are awesome. The cleat system is designed so you can enter the clip at any angle, versus say Shimano where you have to clip from the back of the pedal moving your foot forward. These you just stomp down on after unclipping and they hook up. You also have the option of what angle of release you want your foot at before your shoe disengages the pedal (15 degree for early release, 20 degree for later release) based on which shoe you install the cleats that accompany the pedals. I use 15 degrees and sounds like you would be the same if you are focusing on DH. Also, the pins are obviously adjustable so screw them well in if you want to be able to move your foot around on the pedal whilst clipped in, or leave more length to keep the foot straighter. Again, I run them with not much thread showing above the surface of the pedal as I prefer to move my foot around in the cleat. But don't take my word for it, they are claimed to be the most raced pedal on the world cup DH circuit and are used by the likes of Greg Minaar, Steve Peat, Rachael Atherton etc. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crank Brothers = quality. *by J***N on April 27, 2026* I always love the quality of Crank Brothers.

Great grip. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by A***. on March 23, 2026* Great pedals! Work well with the Mallet clip shoes from Crank Brothers. I like that i don't need my riding shoes to use them.

I wanted to ride them for a few months for giving a review. I come from riding flats on my mountain bikes and heard from everybody that clipless was the way to go. I had to give it a try, but I have watched my buddy "stop and plop" fall on his clipless often enough that I was a bit reluctant. I paired these pedal with Five Ten Impact VXI Clipless shoes. The combination of the shoes and pedals are very versatile. I wanted a pedal I could ride both clipped in, and as a flat for those sketchy technical sections where I often like to put a leg out. It took me only a couple a rides to get used to clipping in, but a bit longer to get comfortable clipping out. It's easy to unclip, so long as you anticipate when that need will arise. The problem for a new clip rider like me is sometimes if forgot, and plopped over. That's what elbow pads are for :) I have probably fallen a dozen times due to my feet being clipped in when I came to a stop, and I forgot, and leaned the wrong way. All of those incident were at low speed while coming to a stop, not while riding. I have now been riding them for 2.5 months and rarely have that problem. My recent success has been a combination of anticipating when I need to unclip, and getting my muscle memory up to snuff. I like riding these as flats when I hit the rough rocky technical sections where my bike might stop suddenly necessitating a quick foot drop (both uphill and down). At first, I had the pins so low that the center spring was so high that my shoes wouldn't touch the pins. You can ride like this, but it doesn't inspire confidence because the center clip does roll, and although I rarely slipped, it felt like I could at all times. Next, I raised the pins to be taller than the center spring. They rode great as flats, but it was hard to clip in, and really hard to twist out because the pins dug into my shoes too much. I finally hit the sweet spot. I lowered the pins to be just below the center spring in terms of height. Perfect, I can clip in and out at will and ride them like flats when I felt it was necessary. I really do love being clipped in when I am climbing smooth trails or fire roads. It makes a big difference. I have tried regular flats a couple times since, and miss the clippless efficiency. I love being able to switch on the fly to ride these pedals like flats when it gets a bit rough. With the pins adjusted right, they grip very well. I cant emphasize enough how important it is to get the correct shoes if you plan to ride them both clipless and flats. The Five Ten VXI is an amazing combo with these pedals. People who are used to SPD clipless should know there is no tension adjustment on these pedals. You can set the cleats to disengage at either 15 or 20 degrees, that's it. With the pins at the right height, 15 is fine. My local trails are very rocky and technical, otherwise I wouldn't sound like such a sissy about getting my feet out. On the smooth stuff, I have no worries at all. If you are looking for a versatile pedal to use as both clipless and a flat, this has to be one of the best on the market. They are still my everyday pedals.
