Mr LOOK Posted February 5, 2010 Share The only pedal I will change my Shimanos for is Look. Eggbeaters gave the knee pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted February 5, 2010 Share ask yourself: which company sells rebuild kits? hehe! nah' date=' not knocking crank bros, but pedals seriously aren't something i worry about on a bike. ride with both. [/quote'] Holy, never figured you as somebody who rides both ways?!? Why are you in hospital again? you making me the butt of jokes again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted February 5, 2010 Share Maybe you should extend your legs a bit and not pedal with your knees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiles Posted February 5, 2010 Share i don't enjoy the low end shimano spd pedal, but the xtr ones are o so beautiful. i suppose you got to try both. a mate of mine just changed from shimano so crank brothers and after 4 months he's changing back to shimano. (xtr though) also depends what riding you doing. remember quite a few broken egg beaters everyday on the epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivster Posted February 5, 2010 Share IF you want a pedal that you can use a normal shoe on from time to time, the Shimano's are your pedals. However, Eggbeaters are the best pedals i've ridden with. you unclip so easily, they are light and mud and stuff isn't a problem. Puls they are servicable and rebuildable and it is very easy. So if you want a good pedal Crankbrothers is the only pair of pedals yu will ever buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighter-Lights Posted February 5, 2010 Share I love my Shimano 540's.... not light (350g) but solid and reliable... I've put around 40 000km on mine now... serviced the axled twice. Amazing service... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertConvert Posted February 5, 2010 Share I love my Shimano 540's.... not light (350g) but solid and reliable... I've put around 40 000km on mine now... serviced the axled twice. Amazing service... Have you had problems of the sort mentioned earlier in the thread (not being able to clip back in after the pedals get muddy, trouble clipping out etc.)?

andretraut Posted February 5, 2010 Share I am currently using Shimanos, but just bought a pair of Candies today, and will fit them tonight. Bought the Candies for the weight benefit, far better clip-in method, better in mud and good looks. I am changing brand because Shimanos tarnish very quickly, and after a couple of rides they seem worn and scratched, which could be a bit of a problem if you like your steed to look impeccable after a good bike wash. Also because they are heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eedubz Posted February 5, 2010 Share The main thing that's swaying me towards Shimano for my single speed project is the fact that I want to use my cycling shoes for spinning as well, and can't see myself swapping cleats between riding and gyming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockhouse Posted February 5, 2010 Share I was looking at the Crankbrother acids on chainreaction cycles, they really do look the part, but I've never heard of anyone using them, any opinions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoLefty!! Posted February 5, 2010 Share I've used TIME A.T.A.C, Shimano SPD and Egg beaters. I've found the Shimano's to be very hard to break. The TIME A.T.A.C is my favourite but it and the Shimano pedals are let down by rather poor back up. The Eggbeaters are simple to work on and easy to replace the bearings. They're not as hardy as the other two but the backup is beyond reproach. Bicicletta look after their customer which makes the pedals easy to live with. I have bent the retention bars on the A.T.A.C's and the engagement bar on the SPD's on rocky terrain in both cases the distributors informed me I would new pedals because they do not carry those spares. With the Eggbeaters, every part is available to rebuild the pedal after a mishap or wear and tear. My money goes to the eggbeaters.

Weight Weenie Posted February 6, 2010 Share Lefty yep, thats the plus of beaters, they might break, but they are rebuildable easily, the others not ! Must say I have hit my SL's on rocks plenty of times and no issues yet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickc Posted February 8, 2010 Share In answer to an earlier question DesertConvert, I also did the last 94.7 road race on my MTB with eggbeaters - no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
