Ride flat for the commute or the sketchy bits, then flip the pedal and clip in when you want to put the power down. The Double Shot 3 puts both on one pedal.

Highlights

• Hybrid pedal: half flat, half clip-in
• 8 adjustable traction pins and a textured finish for grip
• Diamond plate pads for traction
• Wide 57mm Q-factor for stability at speed
• Premium bearings and double seal system
• Standard Release cleats included

Built to last

The body is A380 aluminium with cast stainless steel wings and a forged SCM 435 chromoly spindle. An Igus LL-glide inner bearing and an Enduro MAX cartridge outer bearing sit behind Crankbrothers' double seal system, and Crankbrothers sets no rider weight limit. It suits trail, trekking and city riding.

Cleats & float

The supplied Standard Release cleats give 6° of float with a 15° or 20° release angle, depending on how they are fitted. Crankbrothers also offers Easy Release cleats with a more forgiving 10° release. Crankbrothers does not approve third-party cleats with its pedals: using them can shorten pedal life and voids the pedal warranty.

Care & servicing

Crankbrothers recommends a seasonal re-grease of the internals, with refresh kits (new bearings, seals and hardware) available for a full overhaul, and advises against pressure-washing at close range. Our Marrickville workshop can service your pedals or fit them for you; fitting is a separate workshop service.

Compatibility & fit

Crankbrothers pedals take Crankbrothers cleats only; SPD cleats won't work. Any MTB or gravel shoe with a recessed two-hole cleat box is compatible, and Crankbrothers notes that third-party shoes may need shims or traction pads to fine-tune the shoe-to-pedal interface. Pedals are left- and right-side specific: the left spindle has a grooved flange and the right a flat one. Installation needs an 8mm hex wrench and grease.
