Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our mountain bike components and accessories.
How do I know which cleat is right for me?
We offer standard and easy-release cleats with varying degrees of float (0°, 6°, or 10°). Beginners typically prefer the easy-release 10° float for a more forgiving exit.
How often should I service my pedals?
For optimal performance, we recommend a basic service every 50-75 hours of riding and a full rebuild once per season or every 200 hours.
Are Crankbrothers pedals compatible with all cycling shoes?
Our pedals are compatible with any mountain bike shoe that uses a standard 2-bolt bolt pattern. Some shoes may require the use of our included plastic shims.
What is the warranty period for wheels?
Our Synthesis Carbon wheels carry a lifetime warranty, while our alloy wheels are covered for 2 years against manufacturing defects.
Can I use CO2 cartridges with your pumps?
Yes, several of our Klic series pumps feature an integrated CO2 inflator head compatible with threaded cartridges.
Where can I find installation manuals?
Digital manuals and video tutorials for all components are available under the 'Tech Support' section of our website.
