High performance pedals
Does anyone use these pedals or have any thoughts on these compared to traditional SPD or egg beaters?

It mentions a "knee-friendly" design...are the other types of pedals hard on the knees??

the cleat looks way too funky if you ask me
i dont think any one pedal is more knee friendly than another in my opinion.
platform pedals arent as shin friendly for me tho thats why i switched to clipless so i wont have to have a pedal chewing up my shins as much (if any).
good luck

Throw the stick!!!!
My brother has used them for about six or seven years now. He has never had any problems with them. The biggest downside is the cost of the cleats.

Times are supposed to have a great deal of float too, so are "knee-friendly" - - with a more normal cleat setup. If I was buying new clipless pedals, I'd look seriously at those or Eggbeaters.

I have been using Frogs for several years & they are quite an excellent system. It would be safe to say that the price of the cleats($33) is well worth it along with the original system price...$129 for SS spindles. I have had no problems EVER with engagement/disengagement, contrary to what some people state through the internet. I know a few people that use them(Frogs) & they have no issues at all with them either.
They are the EASIEST pedals to get in & out of by far ,that i have ever tried anyways.
"Knee freindly" just means that you free float so you are not restricted in "float" so your knees don't ever have to do anything they don't want to do. In other words they move naturally.
