Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Crankbrothers Unisex-Adult Doubleshot 2: Orange & Black/Orange Spring- Standard - A Versatile Footwear Blend of Style and Performance by Jason Graham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The pedals look very high quality. A little .

Update for review below. After troubleshooting the Crank Brothers, we found that unlike the Beater, these pedals have a spring tension "break-in” time and snap-in ability. They were INCREDIBLY rigid out of the box to the point where they wouldn't snap into place and once in they couldn't get out. I'd recommend riding in circles or a familiar loop, constantly retracting and straightening the spring. After a few weeks, they're easy to get into and progressively easier to take off. A bit heavy (although I'm used to racquets) but the platform works very well. However, I found it very difficult to trim the opposite side. Once stuck, it was almost impossible to get out. If I hadn't spotted this in my neighborhood and gone for a walk, I could end up in a dangerous situation. I've been riding Crank Brothers pedals for 6 years with no problems. I hope this is an issue with the new model that can be fixed. The rating will be updated upon receipt of a response from the manufacturer.

Pros
  • Sports and outdoor activities
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
