i got a pair of eggbeaters recently on ebay. i've had 2 other pairs of SPD's and i will never go back, i like the 4-sided entry thing a lot. can's speak for frogs though.

i picked up a pair of eggbeaters but i don't know anything about them and i need to find cleats. are all the eggbeater cleats compatible? i checked the website, but couldn't verify.

the eggbeater cleats are compatible with eggbeaters, candys, and mallets. i'm not sure about the new quattros, though.

i think the quattros have their own cleats, not certain though. if you're using a road shoe with the eggbeaters i recommend the road cleats, they come with 2 pads on the side to protect the cleat while walking. ah those clever little people over at crank bros...

Picked up a pair of Xpedo spd knock offs from the LBS. Cheaper and lighter than Shimano's flagship 959's. I have ran the Bontrager spd's for some time but had mud and snow issues with them. Shimano SPD-R 's are awesome just not double entry and walking with the pontoons in the winter sucks.
