Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by maddslacker   on August 26, 2009   Pros Clipping in and out seems very intuitive They will NOT release by pulling straight up, you must your foot Cons if you miss clipping in, yuor foot slides right off They will NOT release by pulling straight up, you must your foot Can eat into the bottom of some shoes Verdict I switched to these from my SPD's and I love them so much I just ordered another pair for my commuter bike. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by Iscariot   on July 17, 2009   Pros They shed mud, dirt, snow, and all kinds of muck you can throw at it easily. Mine have taken a good couple of hits and are still very solid. They release from your cleats pretty easily. Cons They can be a bit of a pain to get in sometimes. Verdict The pedals are for the most part easy to use, easy to install, easy to come out of it when you want to, and are durable. They make riding my bike alot less of a chore when hitting the trails. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by flamdrag8   on December 14, 2008   Pros These pedals are light, easy to use and durable. Cons Since they do not have a platform, they put a focused pressure on a small part of your foot. On epic rides this could bring some pain. Verdict I have had these for about 6 years and have yet to have any problems with them. A great value. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by Feltrider   on December 14, 2008   Pros Pedals are light, reasonably priced and easy to get in and out of with the 4 entry points. Cons No platform to protect spindles. Had spring break after 4 months of usage, but Crank Bros service excellent and rebuilt for free. Verdict Decent pedal for the price Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by raleighman91   on June 28, 2007   Cons no adjustablity comes out easy on downhill Verdict BUY THEM Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by Dman_from_Sac   on April 20, 2007   Pros These pedals are great and for a great price. They are light and are easy to clip in and out of them. Cons None Verdict I would get these pedals if you don't have money and you need good cheap clipless pedals. Recommended for: Value seekers reviewed by bikeit420   on April 14, 2007   Pros I have ridden many clipless pedals and these by far are the best. They never clog even in the mud. Easy entry by either pulling your foot back or pushing forward. Four sides make it easier to enter. Cons Not a large platform. If your out of the clips occationally then these aren't for you. Verdict Get them if you want clog proof, bomb proof pedals. I have them two years and no problems. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by McNostrand   on April 14, 2007   Pros Easy to clip in and out no matter pedal orientation. Never gets clogged with dirt or mud. Cons A little heavier than other clipless pedals, but that's mainly due to materials. Verdict These were my first clipless pedals. They were easy to get used to, and I haven't had a problem with them in 3 years. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by Tadd03   on April 10, 2007   Pros 4 sided design makes it easy to clip in and out. Does not get clogged with mud. Reasonably light. Cons Not much. This version is somewhat heavier than the other eggbeaters. Not particularly low profile. Verdict Recommend to anyone looking at clipless pedals. Recommended for: Anyone
