Which pedals should I get?
I've been a longtime fan of the Crank Brothers system, and I'd truly love to use either Eggbeaters or Quattros on my new road bike.
How do the crank brothers pedals compare to traditional (Look) pedals?

The speedplays look nice, but I'm not too sure about the expensive cleats... how fast do they wear out?

Huge eggbeater fan here. I've got the basic chromoly eggbeaters on my commuter and candy's on my LeMond CDF.
I do like the platform on the Candy's for extended length rides and hill climbs, though a tad bit heavier.
I might try quattros if I even find a deal some place.

X-2s here. Very few complaints from a guy with bad knees.

i'm a look pedal guy myself......i like the bigger platform as it prevents hotspots....only downside is walking in them....but walking in cycling shoes in general is a pain so.......
