AndreZA Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Mampara' date=' have u ever seen an Eggbeater? Next question, have you taken your MTB offroad yet?[/quote'] Yes I have and yes I have. I can ride 50km offroad without unclipping 100 times. And if I do unclip and can clip back in without having to look down to see if my pedal is facing the right way.
Edition 507 Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Just clipping in is not the problem, but clipping in under difficult circumstances is a problem. To start off again and get your foot clipped in on steep or technical inclines is particularly challanging but with four sides you have double the chance of clipping in instantly. In mud you have double the chance of not clogging up, althought eggbeaters are particularly good at mud shedding.
AndreZA Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 To start off again and get your foot clipped in on steep or technical inclines is particularly challanging Why do you stop in the first place. You ride a bicycle, you don't push it.

Come for a little ride with me around my part of town so I can put some 'Mountain' in your Mountain Bike.
Mr LOOK Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 4 weeks and mine are perfect. Thought I would never find a pedal as good as my Time ATAC. Finally have and they weigh half as much. Mr Look' date=' still waiting on those spare cleats so I can set up my trail shoes.[/quote']The cleats should here in about 4 weeks on the next shipment. Will get the 15 and 20 deg version.
Mr LOOK Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 Out of interest' date=' what shoes are those of you that have the Looks using?[/quote'] Conrad Stoltz is currently using them with his Specialized shoes......very happy! Mr LOOK2008-05-28 06:44:48
mrmed Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I'm with Mamapara on this, but hey, if you want to change my mind, give me a set of the bling ones (with shoes, size 43) and I'll let you know what I think, via the Hub. If you see my SPD's under classifieds, then Mampara was wrong, if the LOOKS are for sale, he was right.

Come for a little ride with me around my part of town so I can put some 'Mountain' in your Mountain Bike. Then I think the Richey SPD are the pest pedals on the market. I've never needed a 3rd or 4th side to clip in. If I put my foot down, I have a flat side and I can clip in and take off. The only selling point for the Eggbeaters is the mud shedding one.
#Pete# Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Sounds like many of youo guys are very happy with them! Any problems with the contact point as in this review? Will I need new shoes? http://reviews.mtbr.com/blog/look-quartz-pedal-pro-review/
Dirtbreath Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Contact point is very good as long as you get the right spacer in. As far as I know any spd compatible shoe will work. Hence the spacer. Your contact area makes it a much more comfortable pedal than an egg-beater unless the 10g you save blows your horn. You can go Candy but then they are heavy and have more moving parts. Not much cheaper either.

Troi Sport Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 You can go Candy but then they are heavy and have more moving parts. not quite true Dirtbreathan Eggbeater C and and Candy C differ in weight by 7g per pedalan Eggbeater S and the Candy S differ in weight by 14g per pedal the Candy's have 1 more moving part than an Eggbeater
JasonW Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 What would be really nice (and settle this argument) is to have a demo day where the main pedal suppliers (and other suppliers for that matter) get together and allow us riders to test their products.The bike shops generally don't have demo / used pedals that you can try out.
turtlek Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 MR look i want a white pair of the carbon ones please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
