ConsNone so far.
VerdictI think they are easy to get in and out. I have been riding these since 2003 and had no problems, so good durability. Great pricepoint.

ProsI have been riding the SL's since 2003 and I have no complaints. The weight is low, mud shedding is unbeatable, entry/exit becomes second-nature quickly and I don't worry about accidently unclipping. I have I have only had to repack the bearings with a little grease once and it took less then 10 minutes to do so.
ConsI've come unclipped after smacking a rock hard once or twice.
VerdictI recommend this pedal system to anyone. New riders and experienced alike will aprreciate the 4-sided entry and the simplistic but sturdy (and functional) design.

ProsI have been using this pedal on both my mountain bike and road bike since 2001. I have logged over 6,000 miles on these pedals and have not had one single problem. I can clip in and out easily, yet I have never unclipped accidentally. Once in, I stay in until I decide to unclip. The Eggbeaters shed mud cleanly and never clog. The four sided entry ensures I can clip in with ease.
ConsI have no dislikes with this pedal system
VerdictI have ridden many different Shimano clipless pedal systems as well as this one. This one is the bomb...I recommend it for everyone, newbies and pros alike

ProsThis pedal clips in easy, clips out easy, doesn't clog with mud, doesn't weigh much, looks good, allows you to clip in forwards or backwards, doesn't require any adjustment (there's nothing to adjust), allows for 15 or 20 degree release angles (based on L/R cleats), doesn't cost too much, and looks cool too (from a minimalistic point of view)
Consevery once in a while I will clip out while bunny hopping (ouch).
VerdictI had ridden the big S style of pedal for a number of years with limited success, so I decided to start looking for a new style. It came down to either the Time ATAC or the Eggbeater. The Eggbeaters won out due to looks. I have never regretted switching to the Eggbeaters, and since then I have also purchased a pair of the Smarty version and looking at the Candies also.
