Commented on This Pedal's Gone To Heaven - A Discontinued Favorite
I guess i did not explain enough. When I spoke to crankbrothers they indicated that they were going to keep producing the three hole cleat for use with the candy pedal as many commuters and other riders use this pedal...

I will certainly miss the quattros. I called crankbrothers and they stated that they will still make the three hole cleat for road shoes. That means you will always be able to find cleats even though the pedal is discontinued....

I have also been a Crank Bros Egg Beaters evangelist for a number of years. I have 5 in-service bikes and ONE pair of shoes, that’s road racing, club riding, single speed commuter, 29er, cyclocross, all in one pair of specialized MTB shoes. Couldn’t be simpler. I have also rebuilt two pairs of CBEBs with the kit from the manufacturer. Easy and cheap, saved me a lot of hassle. Not many pedals even market themselves as serviceable these days, and with the weight-conscious (not me) option of replacement titanium spindles, you can have it all!

Bummer. I have the Quattro 4ti on my road bike and Egg Beaters on the mountain and touring bike. I just bought a Quattro rebuild kit off eBay and I have spare road cleats. On the bright side, the regular EB pedal works well with the Quattro cleat, so an EB4ti would be acceptable alternative to the Quattro for road use....

It was a rather poor mechanical design; one can tell by their products that an experienced mechanical engineer could really up their quality .. But the pedal to shoe interface and the cleat holding just can’t be beat. Its by far the safest pedal out there. I never occidentally came out… whereas I have pulled out of spd spd-sl, look, time ATACs even ! The hard plastic to the pedal wings was actually a fairly decent interace and reasonably stiff. However, the huge problem was the soft plastic body could be flexed considerably so much so that the “body” would...

It’s really a shame that they did this. I pleaded with them to continue making the Look 4x4 design after Look abandoned it but only got a non-committal response from one of the bros. Now there are no CB pedals made with anything better than a bushing on the inner race. Anyone who’s had to use both knows that a proper bearing is vastly superior and requires less maintenance. My first pair of 4x4s went 15k miles and the bearings were still good. The spring just fatigued too much on one side to retain the cleat anymore. It’s too bad...
