I've used shimano, times, and crank bros is my latest in the mtb world. Out of the 3 times and crank bros (eggbeaters) are my favorites. I like eggbeaters because of the weight, the design, the smoothness they are real nice. The one thing times do that i like is when u goto unclip it tightens up so u don't accidentally unclip. I never have issues such as this when riding fixed on the road so the eggbeaters work great.

Just my opinions but i am switching fully to eggbeaters for my mountain use and fixed use.
