Crank Brothers 5050 3 Flat Pedals Review:
I’m usually a side-to-side rider. When I’m racing, the consistency of my speed and control is derived from the ease with which I can make smooth turns around a corner or down the main drag of a fire road. I can often get away with obnoxious, lazy riding style because it is impossible for me to hit the gas at lightening speed. In other words, I don’t need to swing the bike 90 degrees when I plan to turn left.
This is not to say I am not aware of my center of gravity. It’s always on point. But as the game progresses and I inevitably get more aggressive, I will let some of that old-school aggression slip into my riding style. I may try to whip around a corner, which may breed frustration. With my bike is so much weight, it feels more than it actually is. To suck as much speed out of a corner as possible, I’ll make calculated, precise corners sharper and tighter. And I will also put on the brakes a bit earlier than a better rider might, because I do not want to stall at the apex. Simultaneously, I’m still controlling the bike with the left hand and keeping an account of the position of my feet.
The majority of bike manufacturers have a list of maneuvers that are considered ‘good riding’ and ‘clean riding’. The good rider does not try to push the power to the front wheel. The clean rider takes the passenger bike and rigs up a solution to that problem.
Having spent a good portion of my life on the ‘wrong side’ of the line for bike companies, I believe that most commonly accepted ‘correct’ riding style is best described as ‘lite’.
I used to call myself ‘aggressive’ or ‘aggressive riding’. Then as I ‘rested my bike’ I discovered that aggressive riding was the last thing that was happening. In fact, aggressive riding was too aggressive. There HAS to be some way to cover my weaknesses and still get everyone and everything to the finish line.
The Crank Brothers 5050 is the ultimate ‘lite package’. I call it the ‘silver bullet of the mountain bike world’. The Crank Brothers 5050 3 Flat Pedals are the ‘go to’ choice for every ‘aggressive’ or ‘aggressive riding’ rider.
Introducing the new Crank Bros. bicycle.
The Crank Brothers 9900 3 Flat Pedals are designed to have the best of both worlds – The lightest and highest performance of any mid-drive pedals available. With an inner bearing that we share with the Crank Brothers pedal set. The Crank Bros. pedals are made from lightweight, aerospace grade, high strength webbing. The webbing is sandwiched by a new weight bearing cast second generation “inner bearing” with a TIG welded pin. These two re-designed inner bearings allow for optimal stealth control and precision. The new inner bearing combined with the 3 traditional straight claw style pedal arms deliver the best in pedal velocity and efficiency. Like the Crank Brothers 9900 set, the Crank Brothers pedals are the worlds first pedal with a 9mm cleat depth with an 8mm pedal spacing. Now the 3 pedal set includes the three most popular mountain bike cleats. The Pitch, X Pattern and XR and “disc wheels” from the world’s leading cleat brands.
From a lighter pedal set to a smoother riding pedal set and the availability of these pedals in a full complement of Crank Brothers pedal choices, you can be assured that you will have all the tools you need to ride with the legendary Crank Brothers pedal set.
