ZeroPlay Posted March 14, 2007 Share Hi. I'm looking for some MTB pedals to replace my Welgo SPD-type pedals. On my road bike, I ride Look pedals, with the red cleats (pre Keo). What I really like about them is that, when I use the float to rotate my foot, there is absolutely no tendency for the shoe to spring back to some central position. If you I use the float to rotate my foot on the pedal, it stays there until I move it again. With my SPD-type Welgos, I have some float, but when I rotate my foot on the pedal, it tends to work its way back towards some central position again after a while. What MTB pedals will provide "Look-like" float? I'm thinking of getting Egg-Beaters, but I don't know if their float works like I want it to. Thanks for any advice.ZeroPlay2007-03-14 08:06:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted March 14, 2007 Share I think Time has got a good system going. Everybody, except Bored Girl, swears by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted March 14, 2007 Share Gonna throw my lot in with the Time's as well. They float as you want them to except right at the disengagement point, then you tend to get the spring loaded feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted March 14, 2007 Share egg beater are "loose". You don't have a tension adjustment screw to set it tighter. Till you get use to the feel, it will always feel as if its going to slip out of the "catch". But, it aesy to click in when you have to start again. spesially in mub and uphill. The wires makes that it have 4 "catch" positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starclassic Posted March 14, 2007 Share I'd say PDM-959's (Or the new XTR's) - Have ridden all types of pedals, will never ever swop out the 959's! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted March 14, 2007 Share using standard Shimano entry level Pedals and they are cool, except when it gets muddy, then it's a bitch to click in again. I have a pair of Brand New EggBeaters as well still in the box, gonna use them as soon as I get a new pair of Mtb shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPlay Posted March 14, 2007 Share Seems like it's between Time Atac Alium and EggBeaters. One thing that worries me about the Time pedals is that many of the reviews at MTBReview.com complain that they are hard to clip out of. I have very flakey knees, and the twisting motion of unclipping causes pain if there's a lot of resistance. I ride my SPD-type Wellgos with very little spring tesion, so I can clip out really easily. Do you Time riders agree that they're a bit more difficult to unclip from than other pedals? What are the EggBeaters like when unclipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss V Posted March 14, 2007 Share I just upgraded to a Time set and they are marvellous, but I have heard the ones from crank brothers are nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
