I have no issues with any of them, except the Quattro's. I have to hunt a bit more, I think it's because the cleat is recessed in a plastic part (on the shoe).
I accidentally put the wrong cleat on the wrong shoe, and it was a pain to unclip, but once I fixed that it was all butter!
I've only had one or two accidental releases on my regular Eggbeaters, when I slammed the pedal on a rock.
Getting in to my Eggbeaters has always been great, unlike the shimano's I switched from. Those things would gum up with mud in no time!
And, as for the Quattro's, I think there's plenty of better road pedals out there, but I wanted to be able to use the shoes and cleats I already had, if I want to.
My story is the same. I switched over to Crank Bros C-Candy for all my bikes except for one commuter where I am using the Quattros. I have a pair of SIDI road shoes that I have had for 8 years that I use with the Quattros...I have a pair of SIDI MTB shoes that I am using for the Candy pedals. I seem to have to hunt a little with the Quattros but once clipped in I have no problems.
Maybe the person with the eggbeaters who is having the problems has the wrong release angle in the setup of the cleats on the shoes???? Any how I love the Crank brother pedals and how easy they are to service.
