Highly recommended here as well.

Using a set of '03 Egg Beater S pedals on my road ride, and a pair of Candy SLs on the MTB. Very secure, and since the cleat is teh same on the front an back, it's much easier to clip out with your foot travelling forward than with SPDs, so it's easy to take a quick 'dab' with a foot during a corner.

I bought them for $75 a pair on ebay - bargain!

Woody - I had the same problem with the hard clip-in on one pedal at first too. Seems to be going away as the cleats wear in a bit.
