I have been using Eggbeaters fr the last 2.5 yrs and had no issues, just recently opened them and regreased bearings, a simple 5 minute task, needed it after wet muddy Karoo 2 Coast. I have never had any hassles getting my feet out of them in a hurry and they are comfortable for all day riding. Also not had mud and sand stuck in them, I have seen many riders around me not get their feet out of SPDs or in, because of mud on cleats & pedals. Eggbeaters are Gr8

Me got GT Avalanche 0.5 standard, awesome bike, rock solid. The Marzocchi air shock is great, simple and robust and the SRAM 0.9 is tractor tough. Just regret no lockout. I have done lots of marathons and shorter stuff on it and it keeps on running sweet. Great bike.
