Not true.....any of the cheaper versions of eggs, including C and SL will be the strongest, despite being the cheaper models, because they are steel. The more expensive models are titantium and thus will break easier. Titanium is fine for frames because you can compensate with thicker and different diameter tubes. However, Ti is weaker for things like pedals, because the parts have the exact same dimensions as their steel counterparts. Thats why Crank Bros lists weight restrictions for their higher end pedals.
