well, I though of em and think deeply bout it, simple maintainance, lightweight but I just dont buy it looks, it looks sooo fragile (small) and no offence, well I believe that to use a EggBeater you must first have a stiff shoe right? Anyway which EggBeater you recommend? I cant make my mind up because I made my mind for Shimano's which is PD540 while Egg Beaters I cant pick between SL, C and MXR because all of them has a mixed review in MTBR. SL seems the perfect one but I scared my dealer might charge it as RM400 which is ouch!, so for a cheaper choice and lighter it would be the MXR rather then the C but both of these product review is not so erm good. Shed some light here lowcel?
