Egg beaters - pals still like em'?

[weisan]

I am a SPD guy. No complaints.

Thinking of trying these out, just out of curiosity.

Only place Egg Beaters belong:

Flash pal, I have always appreciated your truth-telling impulse.

IMO, the only advantage crank bros pedals have is their ability to shed mud, in EXTREME situations.

other than that - they are garbage, in my experience.

If you want to try the ideas behind the Egg Beater in a pedal that actually works, get some Time ATACs.

Right.

I would like to.

Hopefully someday.

They are nice. Amazing because their road pedals might as well be crank bros.

I ran SPD on mtb and cx, Shimano road
Swapped everything to Eggbeaters years ago and it's great. Never had a problem with them.

One pedal I noticed some play and Crank Bros rebuilt the pair for free.
I have 5 pairs right now.

I like them and have never had a problem with them. Folks complain that the cleats wear fast but that is by designe: let the brass cleats wear (they are disposable) while the steel clamps on the pedals last a LONG time. I also like SPD and Wellgo SPD copies.

I gave up on carbon-soled road shoes and road pedals because I ride to places where I get off and walk around.

Hated 'em. Hard on my knees, inconsistent clip in and release.
I jumped on the bandwagon and went with a platform pedal (Drillium.)

Had Eggbeaters, SPD and ATAC. I'm an ATAC guy for the wider lateral float plus it's vintage ish nostalgia.
