NotSoBigBen Posted November 14, 2009 Share We have always used SPD pedals and never had an issue but recently LittleBen has changed to Eggbeaters. He enjoys them and had no issues up till today (besides the training shoe issue referred to later) ..... I find that the bolts supplied with them are just to short and it is a mission to get them fitted. They just make it on his Specialized shoes and today a bolt pulled out as it did not have enough 'bite' - result is that his race was spoilt He has another pair of training shoes, can't remember the make and can't be bothered to look cause I'm not impressed, where the cleats can't even be fitted at all as the bolts don't reach! Might try some SPD bolts if they are longer some time but ja anyone else experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted November 14, 2009 Share Well I've had Olympics and now the Spesh BG Pro carbon model and they work 100 %.So I dunno, post some pics ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecnic Posted November 15, 2009 Share Usally egg beaters are supplied with two sets of bolts long and short, so in total 8 bolts should be in the box but I must admit short bolts are serioulsly annoying and can be a major headache, my personal experirnce is that Shimano road cleat bolts are super short causing some issues anyway good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
