What MTB pedal do you use and why ?

What pedals do you use ?

 

I currently have some Shimano model on my XC bike. Works really well, but a combination with this and road cycling aggravated my ITB pain so I switched on road to Speedplays - more float is great.

 

On the MTB I am thinking Crank brothers - eggbeaters - but heard that they don't like rocks - thus break easily ??

 

Other pedal I know that is good - Look Quartz - but not sure how it compares to the eggbeaters

 

Thoughts ?

I been told to go for the Ryder...apparantly they are cheapest on the market and long way from being "cheap and nasty"..

[Mudsimus]

I wont go for the ryders. The Shimanos are only a few rand more expensive, but will outlast the Ryders by years.

Shimano, def not Crank Brothers Egg Beaters.. my bro-law has them and you can't even adjust them, so clipping out is quite a mission

[Slowbee]

the reason I use the shimano's is that they came with the bike.

CB Candies for when I'm clipping in, Shimano DX flats for when I'm being a lunatic.

Crank brothers and Look Quarts does not have float like Shimano does. Okay, I know you CB and Look lovers have raised the pitch fork already, but go and look at the mechanism. With Shimano you've got a bit play where the cleat does not touch the clamps (lets call it that) and this gives you the float. On CB and Look, the float is in the cleat but it is not free. The float they talk about is basicaly release angle. The cleats are always in contact with the clamps as soon as you rotate your foot, to have a bit of play, you have actually started the unclipping procedure. Please prove me wrong as this is how I've experienced it.

Time ATAC

Have used time for +/- 10yrs and never tried another brand. Next time (pun not intended) will look at another model once these are kaput or new bike arrives.

Seeing that mud is not a living thing, how exactly does it manage to "EVACUATE" the pedal?

Mmmm, those XTR pedals look nice

Seeing that mud is not a living thing, how exactly does it manage to "EVACUATE" the pedal?......That's the French for you. They're just trying to state that there's no obstruction.....and the mud "flows" through the pedal.
