Thank you for the useless post.customfab said:
Crank Bros manufactures their parts with very loose tolerances, sometimes you get stuff that works OK and sometimes it fails out of the box. When I started looking back at pending warrantees and noticed that we were sending their pedals back 10-1 (the one including ALL other brands) I decided I really thought there product was inferior. They do feel nice if they last and they do stand behind their product better than most in the industry. I know people love them because they are shinny and light but I just flat out refuse to sell them anymore.CactusJackSlade said:

The higher level of warranty issues are thanks to three reasons:
1. Their pedals come on a LOT of bikes. A larger user base means more warranty claims.
2. The make very low end pedals, which are nice because it lowers the entry point for clipless, but the quality isn't there for heavier use. The high end pedals hold up nicely.
3. They are user serviceable, but most riders don't.
all of the pedals that we warranted were aftermarket product and ran the gamete from entry level to 4ti. Crank brothers product amounted to about 30% of our pedal volume not nearly enough to justify the warranty ratio.bad mechanic said:Hmm, yes, a riff on my name.
