Do carbon cranks need special pedals?

do carbon cranks need special pedals (i.e. carbon ones), or can I use any that will fit?

if only I'd thought about it a little more - the chain ring is metal with metal bolts.
thanks guys - I can put my old pedals on for the moment.

Some carbon cranks do not have metal screw sleeves for pedals, and these require a fibre washer between the pedal and the crank. If you don't use this you can do serious damage. The washers are hard to come by, as they are only supplied with the cranks from new.

The vast majority of carbon cranks have a steel insert to accept the pedal threads.
