Pedal type preferences
I've been using standard MTB SPDs for about 10 years now and I'm considering - just for the hell of it really - trying a different pedal type. I mainly do back country road and trail riding as well as commuting, pretty much year round. A friend recently swapped out his SPDs for a set of Crank Brothers Egg Beater Candies and now swears by them because they have a small platform around the clip that allows you to stay unclipped w/out slipping off the pedal, and also serve as a guide for clipping back in. So I'm curious about what others here prefer because the variety of pedals out there is getting confusing...SPDs, Road, Look, platforms, free-float recessed etc. Also, is there really any significant difference in mud shedding capabilities between pedals?
Thanx a lot!
