skibum...how do you like those eggbeaters? Are they compatible with spd cleats? I'm seriously thinking about getting a pair of those. I was out on the trails 2 weeks ago, and my shimano pedals were getting all iced up...pain in the arse.

Marc-I'm using Time ATAC's , which are a similar design to the eggbeaters, and I love them. the work well in all conditions, i've never had any problems at all with mud, and only minor icing (kicked the pedal and it was clear). I imagine the egg beaters work very similar to that.

Dave: What's the difference between yours and the eggbeaters. My shimano's got so iced over the other day..never happened that bad before, even though I rode in snow. Plus, I just like the simple, less is more design.

I love them. They are easier to get in and out of then the SPD pedals I have used and I have never gotten them so clogged up with mud/snow/ice/whatever that they didn't function as designed. SPD cleats won't work, you'll need the eggbeater cleats that come with the pedals.

DBR Racing (Diamond Back) WCF Vertex model, carbon fiber frame w/ stock Shimano Deore LX components, 24 speed, Manitou front fork. I bought this new in 1995.

Has served me well over the years.

My road bike is a Specialized SLX E5 frame build up with a C3 carbon fork and cosmos wheels, mostly ultegra with some lower end parts Its heavy but pretty bombproof.

My MTB is a mid 90's trek Y3 with a complete mix of parts and manatour triple clamp forks. Its pretty much just a beater. It got a ton of use in High school, I dont do alot of mountain biking anymore.
