from Boulder Date Reviewed: March 1, 2011 Strengths: Light weight. Cheap. Weaknesses: That's what you get, cheap product. I pulled out of the pedal while standing and pedaling hard up hill. This happened numerous times during a race. It was also a loose fit. Every pedal stroke I could hear and feel my cleat move up and down on the pedal like they do not clip in snug. I was very disappointed over all. I returned them right after the race. That was the only time I used them and last time. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: REI Similar Products Used: Time, never had a problem with over 10 years of use. Went back to them. It's worth a little extra weight, not much, to have a solid product that works and lasts.

from Beirut, Lebanon Date Reviewed: December 27, 2010 Strengths: Very light, easy to clip in/out. Looks "trick" Weaknesses: Broken spring after only 4 months road bike use - no mud, little rain, easy use - about 1000 km only. Now facing complicated warranty hassle. Disappointed at poor durability (problem shared by many other bikers I see). Wish I had looked at your reviews before buying Crank Bros - should have stuck to Shimano - now we know why they are No 1! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $140.00 Purchased At: High on Bikes.com UK Similar Products Used: Shimano SPD (for over 10 years heavy MTB and road use)

from Bath, UK Date Reviewed: April 2, 2010 Strengths: Innovative elegant design. Mud clearing. Lightweight for price. Weaknesses: Durability in muddy/gritty UK conditions (i.e. normal use!). Chocolate cleats wear after one or two rides leaving vague retention. Unfortunately the bars wear too so buying (insanely overpriced) new cleats doesn't make that much difference. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: There's only one Coed-y-Brenin Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: CRC Similar Products Used: Shimano XT, Stainless Eggbeaters (the first ones), 3 or 4 sets of Eggbeater Chromes Bike Setup: Cannondale F800SL

from Salt Lake City, UT, USA Date Reviewed: August 1, 2008 Strengths: Easy to use, easy to clip in and out of, allow your foot to float, lightweight, good customer service from Crank Brothers Weaknesses: Not very durable. In the last 1.5 years I have broken the spring on 4 different pedals, 3 of them broke while riding on the road and the forth broke climbing a steep section of a trail while I was pulling up. After the spring breaks, you can no longer clip in, which ruins your ride. Also, the cleats wear out way too fast. I ride about 2000 mountain miles a year and have had to replace cleats as many as three times in one year. Also, not only do the cleats wear-out fast, the wings get loose over time which allows you to come un-clipped when pedaling, which for me has nearly ended in a couple of nasty wrecks. I have 5 bikes, all of which have egg beaters, so for me to replace the pedal on all my bikes it will be quite expensive. But I guess if I do, I will save money in the long run, because I won't have to buy a bunch of new cleats every year. All I can say is it is a good thing that Crank Brothers has good customer service and has always fixed my broken pedals without any static or they would have lost my business a couple of years ago. I hope they can fix the durability of these pedals - they should last longer than a year or two. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Wasatch Crest Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $90.00 Purchased At: Cedar Cycle Similar Products Used: I've used Wellgo and SPD but they were a different pedal Bike Setup: Ellsworth Truth, Specialized Stumpjumper, Diamondback XR-8, and a few different Specialized Allez road bikes.
