Mountain Biking - Egg beaters?

What is your opinion on these pedals... and if they are worth the purchase, where can I find a good deal on them? All the places that I know to look are listing them a little pricey.:(

I've had mine for a few weeks now and I love them, it is a little hard to clip in at first, most SPDs you just put your foot down and you're in, these you need to be in the right spot. I got mine cheap on eBay.

They're really nice, i like my spds though cause i can use them with sandals when i'm just riding around at camp or something, and then when i go biking i can just throw on my shoes. Egg beaters don't seem to provide the "best of both worlds", though they are still quite GOOD.

GET THEM! They are amazing. I swear by these pedals in the store and so do many of our customers. You won't be dissapointed.

Great pedals !

You can buy a pair (2002 model) for $59.88 from :

I purchased my eggbeaters from jensonusa for $49.99. Unfortunately they are not available anymore...

You can use www.qbike.com (http://www.qbike.com) to search multiple online bike shops and find the best deal for any part.

Good pedal for mtn and road. They also come in different price points. The highest being a full titanium version for almost $300.00.

If you're looking for a good pedal with a platform, check out Time's Control Z's. Time is famous for their durability and performance, and they've improved upon their A.T.A.C. pedals by adding a larger platform.

I use these pedals on my road bike love them. there is a learning curve (geting in and out) but its easy. just put your foot down roll it forward or back and you in. I love these pedals..
they come in three price range and nashbar had a big sale on them.. Look also have a pair. (better bearing?)

Last year's models are on sale anywhere that still has some. This year they have three models of varying materials and weights out. Should be a great pedal in muddy stuff. I've had mine for a while, but haven't done any trail riding since I put them on. Just playing around our place (dirt roads, hills, etc, but no trails). I like them so far.

I bought some way back but only used them once. Idea being is that I loke a quick foot down if I need to so I switched to studded flatties instead and that suits me fine.

If I were to ride purely on the road I'd probably go for the EBs. They are a terrific pedal and so far I've read nothing but good about them. If you were in the UK, I'd happily let you have mine as they've only got 20-30 miles on the 'clock'!

A stunning pedal.

I wouldn't be opposed to you shipping them to me. :eek: I’m sure the cost of shipping would be cheaper than buying new ones… up to you.

IO like them they are good peddles to me. they give me plenty of grip

How is it exactly that clipless pedals "grip"? That is a new one on me. Are you usuing a different kind of shoe or something?

Well, I think I'm going to hold off on getting the "beaters" as someone mentioned. I'll get the feel of my existing pedals and if from there I don't like them, then I'll make the change.

Thx for the help,
