I was surprised at how quickly they are destroyed when used for trailsingle track use. I now keep an extra pair in the car. Fellow I ride with, wrecked his in 2 weeks to the point were he could barely get his foot back into the pedals. All in all they work fine while they are in good shape.
Been running Crank Bros. Candy 7 pedals on my road bike for several years. Love the float and ease of disengagement. Way better than Shimano SPD.
Replaced all four bikes with Crank Bros pedals+cleats... dig the connection, ease of in/out and price.
I use them with my candy and eggbeater pedals. Candy on the MTB and Eggbeaters on the cross bike.
I have been using my first set for over two seasons. They are easy in and Out when you need them.
I switched to Crank Brothers after years of riding XTR SPD pedals and I prefer the easy in and out of these pedals.
I bought a pair of Eggbeater 3's (along with an extra set of cleats and the stainless steel shims) after getting frustrated with how poorly my Speedplay Zeros perform when it's snowy.
Crank Brothers chose brass for the cleats so they'll wear out before the pedal contact points do. Which is a great idea since the cleats are much less expensive to replace (especially compared to Speedplay). I can't speak to the lifespan yet since I'm still on my original pair, but I'm guessing mine'll be toast after the winter due to the salt and sand on the streets. Not a big deal, friction happens.
I'd give these 5 stars for value if there was some sort of recycling program - send in your worn out cleats for $5 credit towards your next pair or something like that. Most reviews say these wear out quickly, so it'd be nice if there was something to do with all the used ones.
use these cleats for mnt bike rides and for commuting
love that they work when it is muddy, and when I need to unclip quickly
These cleats do what they are supposed to, bolt to your shoes and work with Crank Bros cleats. It is a very good product that works the way it is supposed to work. Don't worry about anything with these cleats. The gold finish is cool and the bolts are good quality.
Been using Crank Bros. pedals and cleats for years. Excellent quality for the money!
I like the two side entry with the crank brothers clips. The cleats are pretty soft and wear out fast. Other than that they are easy to clip in and out of.

Needed cleats for my new winter cycling shoes. Not interested in swapping cleats since we have temperature swings from 20F to 65F and back a few times a week.
This cleats work, they catch when I clip in and wear like iron.
If you'v got Crank Bros pedals you need Crank Bros cleats. These work just as they should!
I have a spin bike with Crank Brothers pedals and so I bought these cleats to go along with a pair of shoes. The cleats were easy to install to the shoes and the cleatpedal combo work well.
This cleats are inexpensive and they work great, store pickup is great they always have cool stuff on sale
This is an excellent product, once you learn how to twist out no matter how you stop they keep your shoes on the crank through all types of conditions. It can be if-ie to lock in, so it is important to keep your shoes just before the heal to keep from slipping if you miss a lock taking off. Usually this is not a problem, but if you've stopped up hill it takes some practice to get it right, and a bump or wiggle can keep that from happening. This effect is worse when the cleats are new, they must get broken in before locking-in gets easy. I have thought about burnishing the cleat effect to ease this process, but I always ride first giving the extra effort to twisting and pushpulling to get a lock. They will last about a year or two until a hard push unlocks causing the foot to slip. Get a new pair and start again
Good product
