  1. Hi, I have the origional version of CrankBros Eggbeater (ie not the Ti or the Look version) pedals
    which are about 3 months old now.

    The left pedal starting clicking a couple weeks ago whenever I put weight on it. At first I thought
    it was my BB so I tightend that, Then I thought it was my crank, so I tightened that. Then I thought
    it was my cleats, but when I push down on the pedal clipped out using my heal, it still clicks. Then
    I replaced my pedal with an old SPD and guess what no clicking.

    So I took the pedal apart (easy, one bolt) put new grease in and tightened it up. This stopped it
    clicking for about a half an hours ride.

    Now whenever I tighten up the little bolt, I can keep it clicking for about 15 minutes but then it
    starts again.

    I've written to crankbros and they were helpful and said I could just send em the pedal and they
    would sort it out for me, unfortunatley, I'm living in the UK for the next year so its a little
    difficult.

    Anyone have any tips on sorting out eggbeaters? Would the eggbeater rebuild kit help? If so, think I
    could go for more than 3 months before having to do it again?

    I love the pedals and hope someone can give me some tech info on how to eliminated that most
    annoying of clicks!

    cheers

    2002 Eggbeaters are slightly notorious for eating their bearings. It appears that is what has
    happened to you. If you have SPDs to spare, I'd send it back to Crank Bros. and let them make it
    right for you.
