Lightweight, adequate support, easy in and out
This is a review after 1hr of riding with these pedals. I ride a recumbent in South Florida, have been using both SPD pedals with sandals for casual rides, and Look Keo Carbons with racing shoes for more rigorous workouts. Been a serious cyclist off and on since 1967. While the Look system always worked well for me on diamond frame bikes, this set up is not ideal for bents. Hot feet, unsure footing when stopped, and difficult click in and release are the main factors. SPD with sandals are more comfortable with cooler feet and safer stops and starts, but secure engagement and easy release proved illusive. After 4 plus years and over 12,000 miles of frustration on the bent it was time for something new. I decided to give Crank Brothers a try. I wanted to use sandals primarily. Since sandals flex for walking some sort of pedal platform is very helpful for support. The Candy series pedals offer a small platform not as big as other pedals, but the trade-off is light weight...

Solid grip & great float but no positive click in or out
Having not ridden in 13 years, at first I wasn't sure if I liked these because I had nothing to compare them to. After a few rides I switched these out for Shimano SPDs (PD-A530 with platform on one side and SPD on the other) that I got from Amazon and after just a short test ride of the Shimano, the Candy 3 pedals are much better than I had initially thought.
Where they crush the Shimano pedals is float. I'm pretty sure they both advertize 6 degrees of float. The Shimano SPDs actually begin to release at 6 degrees but at that edge you feel that you're there and the pedal is pushing back on you to get you to back to center. If you're not conscious of this and centering your foot when the pedal tells you too, I felt pressure on the side of my foot. The Crank Brothers pedals don't release until 15 degrees. I don't know why they call that 6 degrees of float but it's clearly more forgiving, more float and yet feels much more locked in than the SPD.
I wish the Candy...
Good quality pedals
A solid product, I had some lower end CB pedals on my bike but these are top notch. Well build and with replacable bearings they can last years. I pulled them appart and added ceramic grease, should be good for a while.
