Do you use them and what do you think about them? They are on sale at Performance for $89.99

I use the Candy SL pedal, which is the same stainless eggbeater mechanism with a different platform. It's a good pedal. Not sure the Quattro is really worth the extra money for a very slightly longer platform - if I were to buy a dedicated road type pedal, it would be something with adjustable tension and float like the LOOK Keo or Ultegra/DA SPD-SL pedals.

I use quattros, the float is adjustable by switching the cleats.
Excellent pedal, and the cleat is not slippyo walk on like Looks, or plastic. They are also very light for the price and the bigger platform is better to avoid hotspots.

I agree with stupid sexy Flanders. Not sure if it's truly worth the extra monies, but I'm liking mine.

I've been using Quattro's for around a year now, I like the wide Platform and the fact that the Pontoons that come with the Cleats make them easy to walk in...
The only problem I've found so far is that they can be hard to aim and clip in to...really annoying once you're in though they're great...
I just bought my second pair, the Jittery Joe Orange ones....
Oh, replacement cleats are around $25...

I love them and I think they are worth it. It is true that sometimes it's hard to aim, but you just need to get used to them. The platforms come in handy if you can't quite clip in when starting back up from a light. The plastic base is easy to walk on. The cleats last a whole heck of a lot longer and they are in fact made out of sturdier metal than the cleats that come with the regular Eggbeaters. I got them for $99.99 at Performance. Don't know if it matters to you, but you put these on with a hex wrench, not a pedal wrench. I wish I had known before I got them!

They take a bit of getting used to, but like once you've got them down & you're clipped in, they're great. Haven't had a hotspot ever. Now that they're on sale, they're def. worth it.

Hey, can we get a pic of these "pontoon" cleats? Are these the "rc" road cleat? I saw photos on CBs site, but would like to know how recessed they are...

And which cleats are included? On the website, it says the "3h" 3-hole cleat is included, which is different, right? Any advantages of one over another?

I just put some on my bike today and I LOVE them. The only other system I'm familiar with is Look-style, which I've ridden for the better part of two years. These quattros are SO much better. I used to stress mightily about riding my Looks in traffic, and often had real trouble clipping out in emergencies. Getting out of theses quattros is ridiculously easy. As I came home today I came to an intersection where I normally clip out pretty early to be prepared for anything, and at some point I realized it was riskier to clip out than to stay in.

Walking in them is much better too - more stable, though the "pontoons" are still fairly hard plastic rather than grippy, so they can still be slippery on a slick floor. But on asphalt, sidewalk, etc they are light years better than my old Looks.

This is the Quattro cleat, has a little more than the road cleat with just the 2 replacable plastic pieces. The road cleat still contacts the ground a bit.

In the 3-hole version two of the screw holes are covered by the pontoons. The directions aren't very clear about how to deal with this, and it literally took me a good ten minutes to figure out how to take the pontoons off.

I am going to try the Quattro's and move the egg beaters to the mtb to see if I can ride short trips without bike shoes.

I use the Quattros and really like them. Good to walk in the cleats. Pretty easy to clip into. Very easy to clip out of. Are they any better than other brands' pedals in that price range. Probably not. My main reason for buying them was that I use the Crank Bros Candys on my mountain bikes and like the consistency.

I use the Candy egg beaters (little platform) and like them a lot. Very easy to clip into and "aim" at. I want to give these a try though.

Not quite. The float is fixed at 6° rotation, it's the lateral release angle that can be selected (15° vs 20°) by how you mount the cleats on your shoes.

You can also buy a version of CB cleat that's fixed ie. 0° float.

Recent Quattros come with the 3 hole cleat (the cleat is permanently attached to the pontoon) rather than the above pictured 2 hole style. I have had Quattros for 2 years and don't have any complaints. I primarily went with the egg beater style because I commuted by bike and thus could have casual style shoes for commuting to college and road style shoes for riding distance. The versatility of them is what drew me.

I switched after 20 years of Looks. I bought two pair...! Easier on the knees, lighter, longer lasting cleats, no looking back...(pun intended)

Don't buy from Performance. I got both pairs on Ebay for less than $70 shipped...

Lonan

Actually this is the road cleat. The cleat itself is recessed. There is a hard rubber plate that the cleat mounts to and then you mount the cleat/plate to your shoe. The last part is the collar that snap into place, creating a recess or pocket.

I switched to them aver a year ago and love them. Looking to get a second set for another ride.

Kris Flatlander

I use them and really like them. Real easy to get into and out of, nice and stiff, no complaints here.

Godwin

Right now you can buy the 4ti (top of the quattro line) pedals on ebay for $120. I bought a pair and got them installed but I haven't got the chance to use them yet. Clipping in and out seems pretty easy though.

Psydotek

Have them, love them, would buy again. I like how the cleats are interchangable between all the pedals so i can use my MTB shoes with the standard eggbeater cleats on the quattros (useful for commuting).

I bought a pair of 4Ti and just tried it this morning. Have to say that the clip-in and clip-out actions are a lot more graduated than SPD and others. Haven't really felt the benefit of the platform yet compared with my previous SPDs. But just looking at the contact surfaces, the difference isn't that great as they are still on two sides of the cleat. Still making fine cleat adjustments and trimming the rubber sole of my Sidi Dragon SRS to bring down the Q factor. Here's a blog that illustrates the trimming to accommodate that big inboard bearing housing.
