Mar Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Which one would you go for Candy SL or Egbeater SL
Dirtbreath Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Depends on what you ride. Candy for more support. Better for longer time in the saddle. Eggbeater for XC stuff. If you rider softer shoes stick with the Candy.
Mar Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 I read two Kark comments on Chainreaction?s website that the Candy?s are really crap, bend after two rides etc etc. So now I?m thinking Smarty or Eggbeater. I?m a bit of a novice and dont do crazy stuff, but I am looking for really good pedals.
ignious Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Definitely the Egg-beater. I know of a few riders who have had the Candy's, and they hated them, the platform just gets in the way and it is difficult to clip in and out, especially when you are on technical sections. The Egg-beater is also more durable I believe.
HammerHed Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Eggbeater Sl for sure! I just bought my second pair for my new bike, they are bombproof. You can clip and out in in any conditions, mud especially.
Mar Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Thanx guys... I love the look of the Eggbeater! But like DirtBreath said, Eggbeaters are better for XC What about the Smarty pedals?
dirtrider Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Mmmmm bending the candy's !! yet to do that after 4 years although I did manage to loose the nut on one once leaving me with a loose pedal . After the 4th set of bearing they are going to the dust bin as the shafts are getting a bit worn . But the eggbeaters are also great , i just like the platform more .
Thug Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Go for the SL's, got them on my Santa Cruz. Magic pedals !!
dirtrider Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 You should have stopped before santa cruz !
Thug Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 You should have stopped before santa cruz ! Jy's vol strond vanaand, ne !! Anyway, a downhill bike like a Morewood needs a bigger platform pedal than the SL's
Thug Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 The bigger the better!! It'll go nicely with that new 160mm fork.
