Troi Sport Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Shamus' date=' which forums? [/quote'] Warthogs and sometimes on the Hub What are the advantages off the eggbeaters sl over the candy sl (or the is it the other way round) ?In my riding, weight of things is not to much of an issue. it must be more about function (with a tiny bit of bling, Mr RacerT does have some blue already ) Eggbeater Sl weighs 133g/pedal it is based on the original eggbeater and is pretty much indestructible. Definately our most popular pedal.Candy Sl weighs 146g/pedal it has a greater surface area which means more of your shoe presses down on the pedal. Being bigger it is easier "to find" when clipping in. This is my favourite pedal because I am not the most skilled rider around. On the technical stuff, I can clip out and continue riding as if I had a normal flat pedal.
Troi Sport Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 That will not convince me. What is good for some is not good for others. Unless I try myself, I'm not convince. If you still need to be convinced, then the other guys know something you don't.

Thug Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Shamus' date=' when are you having a "test day" to try and convince the rest of us die-hard SPD fans to use your products? [/quote'] no need Mampara GoLefty is doing a very detailed and critical extended test on the new Eggbeater S(he had the previous version which he was extremely unhappy with) he posts his monthly reports on some forums That will not convince me. What is good for some is not good for others. Unless I try myself, I'm not convince. Just because a car is voted car of the year by some panel does not make it likable by others. Para, I have a spare set of Eggbeaters which you are more than welcome to borrow and try out. Just need to get them back before The Bull.

mtbfreak Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Mampara, please step in a special mix of thick mud (30% water, 30% gravel, 40% sand;) and let us know if you can clip in and out...
Ox_Wagon Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Just remenber to use the special washer/plate to protect the bottom of your shoe if you want to use eggbeaters.
Slowbee Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Ox, special washer/plate? more info please? do the look quartz also have the same hassle?
Mr LOOK Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 do the look quartz also have the same hassle? Nope.
Slowbee Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Mr Look, on the one website it discussed something about the side of pedal hitting the bottom of the shoe .... also not a real issue? also do quartz come in blue ?

[/quote']The normal Quartz will be available in black, white and red for 2009. Ishould have the first batch in about 2/3 months. Blue....not yet....butyou never know. I will have a chat with the guys....and tell themthere's people asking for it. When you set up the Quartz's pedals it's VERY important to play aroundwith the spacers supplied. you need to space the cleat...that whenengaged...the sole of your shoe ...makes contact with the pedalplatform. That's what sets them apart...you then have a big area incontact with the pedal...which results in a better energy transfer.
Troi Sport Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Ox' date=' special washer/plate? more info please?do the look quartz also have the same hassle?[/quote'] Its a shim / spacer to orient the cleat closer to the pedal.similar to the Look I suspect.it is supplied with all pedals and extra cleats there is a metal one available for carbon soled shoes
